>Description:
	Today I changed my LANG environment from de_DE.ISO8859-1 to 
	de_DE.UTF-8. Among other annoyances, due to contributed software,
	I found that the display of man pages is cluttered by "less".

	I don't suspect that this behaviour is restricted to -current.

>How-To-Repeat:

	I append the the first lines of the preprocessed manpage for man.
	LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 head test.tmp | more
	displays
     man [-adfhkotw] [-achine] [-p string] [-M path] [-P pager] [-S list]
	instead of
     man [-adfhkotw] [-m machine] [-p string] [-M path] [-P pager] [-S list]

	
>Fix:

	I have no idea, where the problems comes from. Man pages are composed
	from characters in the range 1-127.
