It's been a while since I reported a problem with the patch here and no
further comment has been made. I guess the majority of users out there are
probably using one of the pre-packaged versions of vim 7.3 and so this
problem hasn't come down the pipeline to hit them yet. I have seen one other
reference to the problem whilst browsing the web:
http://crumbtrail.chesmart.in/
I still don't think the original patch was the right solution here, but
until someone comes up with a better solution, I wonder if the the following
patch could be applied?

This patch maintains the fix for the original problem, but limits the
potential side effects to those that have a MANPAGER environment variable
actually defined.
