It doesn't seem to.  If I do "man bash", then the whole DESCRIPTION
section is highlighted.  From Linux, it looks like only the
keywords(bash, sh, ksh) are supposed to be highlighted.  (I note that
there, it uses '-Tascii' instead of '-Tlatin'.)

I could try downgrading.  I don't use man that much, so I don't know
when it started doing this.

WCLI*.

If I type

(echo ".pl 11i"; /usr/bin/cat '/usr/share/man/man1/bash.1') |
/usr/bin/tbl | /usr/bin/nroff -mandoc | /usr/bin/less -isrR)

then I get the same behaviour.  Editing man.conf doesn't make any
difference, either, nor does substituting '-Tascii'.  Even if I exit
tcsh and restart it.

BTW, TERM = 'cygwin'.  Anything other info I can provide?  Output of
"stty -a"?  My entire cygcheck.out?  Screenshots?  Straces?  Bueller?
