Description Florent Le Coz 2009-11-30 23:28:50 UTC
Description of problem:
just run the command :
man cut cut
Leave the first man-page (q) 
you'll see some errors :

Fatal error: command _/usr/share/man/man1/cut.1.gz_ terminated abnormally
There is no manual page for cut.

This happens only if two consecutive arguments pages are identical. (e.g. "man cut grep" works while "man cut cut" doesn't)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
man, version 1.6f

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. man grep grep
  
Actual results:
error

Expected results:
Should show all the pages asked, one by one
