New revision: 326526
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/326526

Log:
  In case man(1) found a catpage to display skip looking ".so" which is man=
page
  only.

  In case we are trying to read a catpage, the manpage variable is not defi=
ned.
  It results in the "cattool" having no arguments.

  In case the catpage is compressed, the cattool used is "zcat" which dies =
if
the
  standard input is a terminal, meaning the function calling it is exiting =
as
if
  there were no ".so"
  In case the catpage is uncompressed, the cattool used is "zcat -f" which
waits
  reading standard input, making the man(1) command hang.
