Description Felix Schulte 2006-01-13 23:14:57 UTC 
The shell(3) manual page does not format correctly, sometimes words are missing and the whole manual is unuseable (well, important words are missing). The same manual page looks fine on Solaris 8, 9, 10.

Formatting the manual results in the following errors:
----------------------------------------------
$ man shell >/dev/null
Reformatting shell(3), please wait...

Comment 1 Felix Schulte 2006-01-13 23:20:49 UTC 
I forgot to say that this is ksh93, not pdksh.
Comment 2 Felix Schulte 2006-01-14 00:08:16 UTC 
cdt(3) manual page suffers from similar defects.
Comment 3 Dr. Werner Fink 2006-01-16 14:33:09 UTC 
This is already fixed for next release of SuSE Linux

 g31:/ # man 3 shell >/dev/null
 Reformatting shell(3ast), please wait...
 g31:/ # man 3 cdt >/dev/null
 Reformatting cdt(3ast), please wait...

also I'm using now the better sub section 3ast to
be able to distinguish from other manual pages
using the same name space.
