I *think* this patch fixes the following (report years in brackets) 347094 (2006) 349677 (2007) 497559 (2007) 513247 (2008) 554138 (2008) 566519 (2009) 575457 (2009) 588164 (2009) 602334 (2009) 636276 (2010) It may well fix 71027 (from 2002) and 505644 (from 2007) as well, but I don't have the relevant manual pages to check. And of course, there's bug # 477788, which is the one that started me working on this patch. I suppose one would have to ask Colin Watson if it fixed that. It breaks some pages that used to half-work, because it's got a hardcoded notion of what the top of a man page should look like: that's my next priority for fixing! Also it completely fails on Russian or Japanese manpages. I haven't worked out why, but I suspect it has something to do with the bug on the previous paragraph. Anyway, at the most conservative estimate, that's still 10/23 bugs filed in the product, dating back to at least 2006, so it's not a bad start! :-) Rupert
