Hello, I was not able to reproduce this problem, can you please attach here the output of man --debug ifort command?

I fixed this bug in man-db 2.5.8. Here's the NEWS file entry: o Fix assertion failure on 'man -l' with an uncompressed page and any of --no-hyphenation, --no-justification, or a non-English page. (Although I imprecisely wrote "non-English" here, the "en_US" in the path in this case is enough to trigger the bug.) If you'd like to backport the fix rather than upgrading to 2.5.8 or newer, you should be able to use the patch in http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~cjwatson/man-db/trunk/revision/1199 on top of 2.5.7.
The same symptoms occur viewing any NetApp Data Ontap man pages from Fedora 14. The above patch applies cleanly to 2.5.7 source RPM and fixes the problem.

man-db-2.5.7-7.fc14 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 14. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/man-db-2.5.7-7.fc14
Thanks a lot Colin for your investigation. In rawhide there is man-db-2.5.9 thus the problem is fixed, in fc14 the patch is in man-db-2.5.7-7.fc14 which was just submitted.
man-db-2.5.7-7.fc14 has been pushed to the Fedora 14 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
