Hi,

I am running Jake's latest snapshot (20020624) and I am unable to view any
man pages. I get the following when I try:

xenon# man tcpdump
Formatting page, please wait...Done.

zcat: /usr/share/man/cat1/tcpdump.1.gz: decompression OK, trailing garbage
ignored


and this appears in my messages:

Aug 28 16:51:49 xenon kernel: pid 191 (groff), uid 0: exited on signal 10
(core dumped)
Aug 28 16:51:50 xenon kernel: pid 190 (tbl), uid 0: exited on signal 10 (core
dumped)


When I attempt to run groff or tbl from the shell prompt, I get:

Bus error (core dumped)

in addition to the lines that appear in messages.


Has anyone else encountered this and knows how to fix it?

BTW, I'm running a Sun Ultra 5 if thats relevant.

Jason
