:  According to Buzz on 10/15/2005 9:46 PM:
[(possibly stale) bash.1 about somewhere.]

:  Hmm, I do have /usr/local/man on my manpath, and it did indeed have
:  man1/bash.1, but I don't know if that affected things.

I don't think so, as long bash_builins.1.gz didn't have the dirname in
the .so.

:
:  It seems like man can cope with a .so that points to a .gz if that is the
:  only line, but has problems if the .so points to a .gz when embedded in
:  remaining text.

That appears to be an accurate description of this issue.

:   I'm not familiar enough with man to know what is going on
:  here, but it does seem like a man issue.

Indeed (same here).

:   Meanwhile, I can distribute
:  bash.1 instead of bash.1.gz since that is all that works with the current
:  version of man.

That does WJFFM. Thanks a lot for your efforts.

L8r,
