What was the status from is_newer in the first case, or wasn't that line
printed?

I had a quick look at the source, and one thing that could be relevant
is the permissions of the procmail man page (_not_ the cat page, which
you've already shown has permissions which are OK), though I'd guess
you've already checked that. It shouldn't be relevant, but it looks like
it might be. Failing that, I've got no idea, and unless someone else
has, you might have to compile man with even more debugging stuff.
