On lftp 4.8.0 installed via homebrew on OSX 10.11.6, I get a bunch of
errors trying to load the manpage and I think it prevents some information
from being displayed. The errors look like this:

/usr/bin/tbl:<standard input>:171: unrecognised format `<'
/usr/bin/tbl:<standard input>:171: giving up on this table
/usr/bin/tbl:<standard input>:190: `p' modifier must be followed by number

Looking at the source of lftp.1, the errors don't seem to match up to the
text.

I don't understand the manpage format but I suspect OSX is using a crappy,
old tbl, like it does with other tools. `tbl -v` shows "GNU tbl (groff)
version 1.19.2". I'm not sure if this is something you're interesting in
fixing but it would be nice to have the full manpage on osx.
