It seems unlikely that this is an infinite loop. mandb simply spawns manconv for each manual page, and each instance of manconv (inconveniently) warns about your broken locale settings. Do you have any reason to believe that the loop is infinite beyond the copious quantities of output? In order to check this, I'd need to see the output of 'mandb -dpq' run as the 'man' user. (You'll need to redirect both stdout and stderr to a file, and you'll need to compress the output as it will be very large.)
