It's hard to tell for certain since this is a memory corruption bug, but this sounds very like a bug I fixed in man-db 2.5.8: Mon Nov 15 21:38:04 GMT 2010 Colin Watson <cjwatson> * src/man.c (local_man_loop): Simplify and improve code to make a temporary copy of manpathlist, in order that it can't free unallocated memory (may fix Savannah bug #31633). See: https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?31633 If you don't want to upgrade to 2.5.8 or newer, you should be able to apply http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~cjwatson/man-db/trunk/revision/1276 to 2.5.7 to fix this bug.
Thanks Colin for your investigation. man-db-2.5.7-7.fc14, which contains a patch Colin mention in previous coment, was just submitted to updates. Please fix this package the problem?
I have installed the last man-db-2.5.7-7.fc14 and the bug is indeed fixed. It can be closed. Thank you for your job!
