> Does it do the delay if you redirect the output to a file? Seems I cannot reproduce it any more. I just rebooted in between these two emails so I must conclude the problem was either some temporary insanity corrected by rebooting, caused by mounting /usr rw (which would be very strange) or man being installed suid "man". Those are the only changes I made to the system. I suspected it might be caused by suiding the binary since sooner or later after this I first noticed the delay but it did not correct itself by removing the suid bit so I initially thought it was not to blame. Now, after rebooting it no longer happens, so ... this remains a little unclear. No difference in who runs man.
Perhaps someone with an "often-rebootable alpha" can test whether the
suid affects man?
