>Release: FreeBSD 2.1.7-RELEASE i386
>Environment:
Standard FreeBSD 2.1.7-RELEASE manpath binary on a ppro 200.
>Description:
manpath segfaults if it dosen't understand a line in
manpath.config because it's calling gripe_reading_mp_config without
an argument.
>How-To-Repeat:
Put anything nonstandard in /etc/manpath.config (ie. add
a `foo' at the end), or misspell one of the keywords like I did. =)
>Fix:
Either hardcode the config file name in
gripe_reading_mp_config, or add the required argument. This seems to
affect all versions of FreeBSD and should probably be fixed in _both_
copies of manpath.c (/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/man/{manpath,man}/manpath.c).
