Here's a simple patch that fixes the manpage-starting-with-a-number
bug and the can't-find-the-[-man-page-bug. The second fix is really
kludgy at the moment, but it's almost 5 am and I spent the last three
hours on IRC walking a user through a new FreeBSD installation on his
notebook with a zp0 PCMCIA network card, only to find out from a DOS
diag utility that the card is toast. :( Anyhow, I'll try to come up
with something cleaner tomorrow or the day after... oh, this is
applied to /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/man/man/man.c.
