I finally managed to track this down and fix it upstream, prompted by a question in https://bugs.debian.org/1004557: https://gitlab.com/cjwatson/man-db/-/commit/37ab864354c1d0ac09e27d2346a1221bf4628509 This will be part of man-db 2.10.0, which also fixes the performance problems which were how you got into investigating this in the first place (see https://bugs.debian.org/1003089). Sorry for the very long delay! -- Colin Watson (he/him) [cjwat...@debian.org]
