Greetings,

I decided to build a toolkit for myself that I'd be able to port around
to various boxes. In doing so, I'd also like to port my man pages around
as well.

However, I noticed a problem here under 4.3-RELEASE. It follows...

   $ echo $MANPATH
   /path/to/alternate/man:

   $ man -d foo
   ctype locale env: Invalid argument

   using less as pager

   using i386 architecture
   found mandatory man directory /usr/share/man
   found mandatory man directory /usr/share/perl/man
   found optional man directory /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503/man
   found manpath map /usr/bin --> /usr/share/man
   found manpath map /usr/local/bin --> /usr/local/man
   found manpath map /usr/X11R6/bin --> /usr/X11R6/man

   search path for pages determined by manpath is
   /path/to/alternate/man

   Warning: couldn't stat file /path/to/alternate/man!
   Warning: couldn't stat file !
   No manual entry for foo

   $ man -v
   man: illegal option -- v
   man, version 1.1
   [snip]

Basically anytime that I have MANPATH set to a variable, I
don't even get system man pages.

I couldn't find bug report info for `man'. Any help is appreciated.
