Description Toralf Förster gentoo-dev 2008-07-07 18:25:05 UTC 
I wonder about the crude heading lines of the man page, viewable w/ :
bzcat /usr/share/man/man1/ftp.1.bz2  | nroff -man 2>&1 | more

I'm wondering whether this might be rather related to groff b/c of :

tfoerste@n22 ~/virtual/kvm $ bzcat /usr/share/man/man1/ftp.1.bz2  | nroff -man 2>&1 | head -n 1
/usr/share/groff/1.20.1/tmac/doc.tmac:3375: bad character definition

Yeah, this is definitely related to groff, see Bug 263524
