The man command with the option k (man -k) does not work on my SunOS 3.5.
Is this a bug? Is any one else have the same problem?

Is there a patch if this is a bug?  Thanks.

[[ "man -k" uses the file "/usr/man/whatis".  This is built with the
"catman" command (see "catman(8)").  Is this your problem?  --wnl ]]
