Ok, man-db is version 2.3.19-5
mandb -d -c >>/tmp/mandb.log 2>>/tmp/mandb.log seems to get stuck
at this point:

Sometimes, these lines appears:
pread(3, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0008\0\0\0\"\0\0\0,\0\0\0004\0$\7\1\5\354"..., 4096,

155648) = 4096
/usr/X11R6/man/man3 contains 989 manpages - no symlinks or anything funny.
I'm confused...
