>Release:        FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE i386
>Organization:
FIT, Brno University of Technology, Czech Republic
>Environment:
	FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE (I think that -current too).
>Description:
	If I do "man terminfo" on FreeBSD 5.1, /usr/bin/tbl produces
	many errors:

	Formatting page, please wait.../usr/bin/tbl:
		<standard input>:155: excess data entry `-' discarded
	/usr/bin/tbl:<standard input>:155: excess data entry `-' discarded
	/usr/bin/tbl:<standard input>:155: excess data entry `YB-G-' discarded
	...

	The resulting table with capabilities names and descriptions
	on the page is then almost unreadable. It is much better in 4.x.
