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.
I have no objection to this patch. so, Ack.
BTW, I'm not sure man.vim should include such lines at all. Original
reporter already found a workaround for his problem. And his patch
caused side-effect for others.
