Thanks.  From what I see, the problem is internal to
man.  But here is some more info:

$ man zip 
=> works

$ cp /usr/share/man/man1/zip.1 ~/local/man/man1
$ cd ~/local/man/man1
$ man ./zip.1
=> Error

$ cd /usr/share/man/man1
$ man ./zip.1
=> Works

From the above, the error is not in the man page
itself, but in the path (i.e., it works in some
directories and not in others).

Thanks for the help.
