Description Alexander Stoll 2005-07-01 06:12:37 UTC 
man version 1.6 segfaults when not previously cached man pages are requested and
locale is set to "de_DE@euro". Cached pages are shown properly as uncached

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. set locale LC_ALL="de_DE@euro"
2. request uncached man page


Actual Results:  
segfault of /usr/bin/man

Expected Results:  
proper display of man page and of course no SEGFAULT!

Comment 1 Alexander Stoll 2005-07-01 06:33:06 UTC 
sorry, description is not complete, it should read:
Cached pages are shown properly as uncached with locale setting to "en_EN"

Please mask version 1.6 and test this package further, version 1.5p lacks no
vital features and having no functional man pages is really annoying...

Please, post to Bug 97541. Thanks.
