Description Michal Jaegermann 2009-01-19 21:43:10 UTC
Description of problem:

'man lsof' produces something like that:
....

       owned by user ‘‘foo’’.  The exceptions are:


       1)                                                                      t
he
.... (and so on, and so on ) ...
                                                                               [
p:s]
                                                                               o
ption.

       Since they represent exclusions, ...

....

and quite normal afterwards.

It looks like some markup used for a list of exceptions makes troff to go bonkers making results really non-readable.

Manpage from lsof-4.80-2.fc10 does not suffer from the same issue but it
list only three exceptions instead of five in 4.81.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
lsof-4.81-1.fc11
