           Summary: man(1) cannot handle manual pages with spaces in file
                    name

/usr/bin/man has problems with manual pages which contain spaces in file name.
In the past some of our ports manual pages contained spaces (it may happens
again).

How to repeat:

cp /usr/share/man/man1/cat.1.gz "c a t . 1 . gz"
/usr/bin/man $(pwd)/"c a t . 1 . gz"
No manual entry for /tmp/c
No manual entry for a
No manual entry for t
No manual entry for .
No manual entry for 1
No manual entry for .
No manual entry for gz
