>Description:
Large sections of the dhcp-options(5) manpage from the isc-dhcp3-server port are missing.  The text is present in the nroff source code, but the "man" program does not output the correct manpage.  You can see these missing sections with "nroff -man dhcp-options.5" but not with "man dhcp-options".
>How-To-Repeat:
$ export PAGER=less
$ man dhcp-options
/option dhcp-parameter-request-list
(it will not be found)
$ man dhcp-options | wc -l
433

$ cd /usr/ports/net/isc-dhcp3-server/work/dhcp-3.0.5/common
$ nroff -man dhcp-options.5 | less
/option dhcp-parameter-request-list
(it will be found)
$ nroff -man dhcp-options.5 | wc -l
