>Description:
	The mtools come with non-standard troff manual pages which
getNAME(1) can not properly decode. This messes up the whatis(8) database.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Install emulators/mtools.

>Fix:

	Hit the mtools maintainer over the head with a troff manual. :-)
	The TQ macro does not seem to be used anywhere. I have no idea about
	the "is", "if" and "pd" stuff.
