Hi,
	The current man will try to create the catman page, and if
you are out of space the man command will fail. This to me seems
rather restrictive. I don't think it should fail, but rather retry
without redirecting the output to /usr/share/manx/manpage.x.tmp

Currently, man dies in make_cat_file() in line 1069, and I thing a
return(0) should work instead. I'll try it, and if noone has  any
objections, will commit the "fix".

Lars
