https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D223560 --- Comment #4 from commit-hook@freebsd.org --- A commit references this bug: Author: bapt Date: Fri Dec 8 10:42:06 UTC 2017 New revision: 326685 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/326685 Log: MFC r326526: 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.
