src/contrib/bind/doc/man/nslookup.8
>Description:
These problems may caused by change macro set from "man" to "mdoc".

o .&\\ should be \e (line 115)
o unrecognized problem with .Sy macro (line 116)

    % man nslookup shows:
      it with an escape character (.& .) N.B.: unrecognized command will be
      interpreted as a N.B.:0 0N.B.:1

>How-To-Repeat:
% man nslookup
on recent FreeBSD-current
>Fix:
I suggest following patch to 
src/contrib/bind/doc/man/nslookup.8
