hmmm...dunno then. might be a bug?

maybe you could check out this thread [1]. man, apropos, manpath and whatis
will soon be replaced by a BSD variant. if you want to try it out be sure to
get the latest release (the .shar file). if you still experience the same
problem with it you might want to write gordon about it.
