IS this related to sys-apps/man-1.6f-r3 ?
same happened here twice with man top, but after doing man bash, man top didn't give this "environment stack underflow" anymore so it's not very reproducable here...

You're right, it IS reproducable, I just didn't do the redirection part. It looks like the problem is in /usr/bin/nroff: $ man top |head -n 1 <standard input>:98: environment stack underflow <standard input>:108: environment stack underflow TOP(1) Linux User's Manual TOP(1) Error executing formatting or display command.

same here, also on man top , always reproducible on man top, never on man bash or others [ebuild R ] app-shells/bash-4.0_p37 USE="net nls -afs -bashlogger -examples -mem-scramble -plugins -vanilla" 0 kB [ebuild R ] sys-apps/groff-1.20.1-r1 USE="X -examples" LINGUAS="(-ja)" 0 kB seems related to http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=261467 any other workaroounds than downgrading groff ?
3.2.8_p11 seems to fixed it
