* 'man' is installed.
* 'cygcheck' says ok
* 'makewhatis' is run after each run of setup.
* 'apropos' works fine
* 'whatis' does not

For example:

* 'man ls' works
* 'apropos dir' finds 'ls' among other commands/libraries/etc
* whatis 'ls' doesn't work

$ type whatis
whatis is hashed (/bin/whatis)

ideas? bugs?

Thanks,

Lee
