Hi, when I run "man lsof" and that man-page is not in /var/cache/man already, I get the following output: <standard input>:133: warning [p 1, 9.8i]: can't break line <standard input>:133: warning [p 1, 10.0i]: can't break line <standard input>:133: warning [p 1, 10.2i]: can't break line <standard input>:133: warning [p 1, 10.3i]: can't break line <standard input>:133: warning [p 1, 10.5i]: can't break line <standard input>:133: warning [p 1, 10.7i]: can't break line <standard input>:133: warning [p 1, 10.8i]: can't break line <standard input>:133: warning [p 1, 11.0i]: can't break line <standard input>:133: warning [p 1, 11.2i]: can't break line <standard input>:133: warning [p 1, 11.3i]: can't break line <standard input>:133: warning [p 1, 11.5i]: can't break line <standard input>:133: warning [p 1, 11.7i]: can't break line <standard input>:133: warning [p 1, 11.8i]: can't break line <standard input>:133: warning [p 1, 12.0i]: can't break line <standard input>:134: warning [p 1, 12.2i]: can't break line <standard input>:135: warning [p 1, 12.3i]: can't break line <standard input>:138: warning [p 1, 12.7i]: can't break line <standard input>:138: warning [p 1, 12.8i]: can't break line <standard input>:138: warning [p 1, 13.0i]: can't break line <standard input>:138: warning [p 1, 13.2i]: can't break line <standard input>:138: warning [p 1, 13.3i]: can't break line <standard input>:138: warning [p 1, 13.5i]: can't break line <standard input>:138: warning [p 1, 13.7i]: can't break line <standard input>:138: warning [p 1, 13.8i]: can't break line <standard input>:138: warning [p 1, 14.0i]: can't break line <standard input>:138: warning [p 1, 14.2i]: can't break line <standard input>:138: warning [p 1, 14.3i]: can't break line <standard input>:139: warning [p 1, 14.5i]: can't break line <standard input>:140: warning [p 1, 14.7i]: can't break line <standard input>:143: warning [p 1, 15.0i]: can't break line <standard input>:143: warning [p 1, 15.2i]: can't break line <standard input>:143: warning [p 1, 15.3i]: can't break line <standard input>:143: warning [p 1, 15.5i]: can't break line <standard input>:143: warning [p 1, 15.7i]: can't break line <standard input>:143: warning [p 1, 15.8i]: can't break line <standard input>:143: warning [p 1, 16.0i]: can't break line <standard input>:143: warning [p 1, 16.2i]: can't break line <standard input>:143: warning [p 1, 16.3i]: can't break line <standard input>:143: warning [p 1, 16.5i]: can't break line <standard input>:143: warning [p 1, 16.7i]: can't break line <standard input>:143: warning [p 1, 16.8i]: can't break line <standard input>:144: warning [p 1, 17.0i]: can't break line <standard input>:145: warning [p 1, 17.2i]: can't break line <standard input>:148: warning [p 1, 17.5i]: can't break line <standard input>:148: warning [p 1, 17.7i]: can't break line <standard input>:148: warning [p 1, 17.8i]: can't break line <standard input>:148: warning [p 1, 18.0i]: can't break line <standard input>:148: warning [p 1, 18.2i]: can't break line <standard input>:148: warning [p 1, 18.3i]: can't break line <standard input>:148: warning [p 1, 18.5i]: can't break line <standard input>:148: warning [p 1, 18.7i]: can't break line <standard input>:148: warning [p 1, 18.8i]: can't break line <standard input>:148: warning [p 1, 19.0i]: can't break line <standard input>:149: warning [p 1, 19.2i]: can't break line <standard input>:150: warning [p 1, 19.3i]: can't break line <standard input>:153: warning [p 1, 19.7i]: can't break line <standard input>:153: warning [p 1, 19.8i]: can't break line <standard input>:153: warning [p 1, 20.0i]: can't break line <standard input>:153: warning [p 1, 20.2i]: can't break line <standard input>:153: warning [p 1, 20.3i]: can't break line <standard input>:153: warning [p 1, 20.5i]: can't break line <standard input>:153: warning [p 1, 20.7i]: can't break line <standard input>:153: warning [p 1, 20.8i]: can't break line <standard input>:153: warning [p 1, 21.0i]: can't break line <standard input>:153: warning [p 1, 21.2i]: can't break line <standard input>:153: warning [p 1, 21.3i]: can't break line <standard input>:153: warning [p 1, 21.5i]: can't break line <standard input>:153: warning [p 1, 21.7i]: can't break line <standard input>:153: warning [p 1, 21.8i]: can't break line <standard input>:153: warning [p 1, 22.0i]: can't break line <standard input>:153: warning [p 1, 22.2i]: can't break line <standard input>:154: warning [p 1, 22.3i]: can't break line <standard input>:154: warning [p 1, 22.5i]: can't break line <standard input>:155: warning [p 1, 22.7i]: can't break line and parts of the man-page look horribly broken.
