    _______________________________________________________

Details:

A workaround for existing man(1) implementations that came with a feature
introduced in 2002 ceased being necessary sometime after 2005, when
then-current releases of man-db man and Lucifredi man reached even the most
ancient of long-term-support "enterprise Linux" releases.

See attached patch.  I'm testing it now.
