I wonder why I'm not seeing this symptom? I have groff 1.18.1 and don't have the MANPAGER environment variable set.
This behavior was reported a few days ago (<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-12/msg00820.html> and <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-12/msg00821.html>). It originates in a change to the groff package recently released. Chris Faylor supplied the remedy (<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-12/msg00849.html>):
export MANPAGER='less -R'
I found the messages with a local search for messages containing both "man" and "escape".

Hi, When I updated cygwin yesterday, everything works except for the formatting of manual pages. When I do$ man man I get output that looks like (starting with the third line): ESC[1mNAMEESC[0m ...
