If I run man from bash in a Win2k console, then suspend it with ctrl-z, I
must hit enter to get a command prompt. If I then resume it with fg, the
man process crashes giving an error:
---
steveb AT TELLER ~
$ man ls
steveb AT TELLER ~
$ fg
man ls
Error executing formatting or display command.
System command (cd /usr/man ; (echo -e ".pl 1100i"; cat /usr/man/man1/ls.1;
echo
".pl \n(nlu+10") | /usr/bin/tbl | /usr/bin/groff -Tascii -mandoc |
/usr/bin/les
s) exited with status 256.
No manual entry for ls

If I invoke man as "man ls | less", the problem does not occur. Normal
(non-man) less processes suspend and resume correctly. Neither does the
problem occur under rxvt.
The FAQ refers to a similar problem resulting from the ash package (and
/bin/sh) not being installed. However, I do have the ash package installed,
and /bin/sh.exe exists.
There is one report of a similar error in the archives, with no response:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2000-07/msg01091.html
Cygcheck output is below, here is the executive summary:
Win2k SP2
cygwin 1.3.12-2
ash 20020131-1
bash 2.05b-1
