Created attachment 518550 [details]
emerge --info  (xz-compressed)

Running, e.g.
man man

I get
/usr/bin/man: /usr/libexec/man-db/manconv: Segmentation fault
/usr/bin/man: command exited with status 127: /usr/libexec/man-db/zsoelim | /usr/libexec/man-db/manconv -f UTF-8:ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8//IGNORE | preconv -e UTF-8 | tbl | nroff -mandoc -c -Tutf8
[Inferior 1 (process 9050) exited with code 03]

Stepping back to version 2.7.6.1-r2 (recompiled on the identical system)
makes 'man' run OK.

    sys-apps/man-db: Revump to drop seccomp again. It segfaults.

    Might re-add seccomp once 2.8.1 has been released.

    Package-Manager: Portage-2.3.24, Repoman-2.3.6

Okay, but do we have an idea why its seg faulting?  ie this might be due to some of our hardening.  @Jarausch can you give us your emerge --info.  Thanks.

It's fixed in man-db-9999 so just wait for the 2.8.1 release.
