Reopening. This is NOT yet fixed in FC1... and I guess not in FC2,
because this bug was marked as duplicate of #98969, but was not fixed
as part of this bug.

$ man madvise | cat
iconv: illegal input sequence at position 175
$ rpm -qf /usr/share/man/man2/madvise.2.gz
man-pages-1.60-4
Comment 3 Eido Inoue 2004-06-28 14:14:13 UTC 
you need to upgrade your man package, not just man-pages. Latest for
FC1 is 1.5k-12.

However, it's unclear as to why madvise isn't getting natively
converted (the new man will not give an iccnv error, but will instead
print a warning and work around the incorrectly encoded man page)
Comment 4 Daniel Roesen 2004-08-03 21:22:48 UTC 
$ rpm -q man
man-1.5k-12
Comment 5 Eido Inoue 2004-08-20 17:56:41 UTC 
confirmed that its not a problem with current release combo (man +
man-pages)
