           Summary: man(1) hangs for uncompressed catpages
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any

I used man(1) for uncompressed catpages. It hangs.

How to repeat:

$ mkdir man man/cat1 man/man1
$ man cat > man/cat1/cat.1
$ man -M man cat
[ it hangs, and waiting for user input. press ^D to continue ]

Workaround: always compress catpages
$ gzip man/cat1/cat.1 
$ man -M man cat
