entries for the same section of a man page, as now there exist
compressed (old) & uncompressed (new) versions....

...there are total of 4298 entries like above.  i didn't encounter
any doublets w/ 4.6-prerelease during regular use of man, only
now in 4.6-rc.

"man -a -w ar" gives...

/usr/share/man/cat1/ar.1.gz (source: /usr/share/man/man1/ar.1)
/usr/share/man/cat1/ar.1.gz (source: /usr/share/man/man1/ar.1.gz)
/usr/share/man/man1aout/ar.1aout
/usr/share/man/man1aout/ar.1aout.gz
/usr/share/man/cat4/i386/ar.4.gz (source: /usr/share/man/man4/i386/ar.4)
/usr/share/man/cat4/i386/ar.4.gz (source: /usr/share/man/man4/i386/ar.4.gz)
/usr/share/man/man4/ar.4.gz
/usr/share/man/man5/ar.5
/usr/share/man/man5/ar.5.gz


..."man 4 ar" (yes, that is w/o "-a" option) produces ar(4) page twice.


below is part of /etc/make.conf which may be of some siginificance...

INSTALL=        install -C
NOMANCOMPRESS=  false


...any ideas what went wrong and/or how to avoid it in future?
