That is, some of the man pages have not been rebuilt in 8 years. So some of the things that I appeared to have broken yesterday, may very well have been broken for somewhere between 2 and 8 years. It also means that some of the docs tickets about man pages may have been invalid for a very, very long time.

So … just a note, when you rebuild stuff in docs/manual, you need to occasionally check docs/man and see if anything changed there, and verify and commit it, so that we don’t get into this state again.

Thanks!
