# While looking through Ultrix v1.2 sources for "man.c", I noticed the
# following code segment:

Looks like a bug.  Two things, though:

(1) Ultrix 1.2 was based on a very late 4.2bsd; Berkeley has released two
systems since then -- 4.3 and 4.3-tahoe; you should grab the latest from
Berkeley to see if this has been fixed.

(2) The Ultrix source license probably specifies that "thou shalt not post
code fragments to Usenet" or some such.  Forget, if you can, that it's silly
to worry about this since the code is 3+ years old; try to ignore the fact
that DEC probably did not modify man.c; check with your legal person to see
what's allowed.
