Can anyone please help me with this little problemette?

When I try to man certain commands, eg ls and bash, I get the
following "less" prompt :

'line ?/? (END)'

Most of the manual pages work fine, it is only a few which do this.
The man files  exist (in .gz format) in /usr/man/man1 and are non-zero
size. Does anyone know why they won't format and display?

Any help much appreciated.
Thanks,
