The specific error is a segmentation fault from groff: troff. Backtrace shows in main()->free()->free(). When attempting to recompile groff with symbols, the problem disappears. Subsequent builds did not restore the problem. >How-To-Repeat: Install clean from a 4.4-RELEASE cdrom. Run man(1) on a manpage for which a preformatted version does not exist on disk. >Fix: Compile and install groff from /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/groff. It appears that the source code on the 4.4-RELEASE cdrom does not contain the bug. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
