https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=223560 --- Comment #5 from commit-hook@freebsd.org --- A commit references this bug: Author: bapt Date: Fri Dec 8 10:44:45 UTC 2017 New revision: 326686 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/326686 Log: MFC r326526: In case man(1) found a catpage to display skip looking ".so" which is manpage only. In case we are trying to read a catpage, the manpage variable is not defined. 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.
