--- Comment #4 from Alexander Ziaee <ziaee@runbox.com> ---
I think this is not a bug. The authors of those pages chose to do something
different than the manual page compilers specificy for the name section, and we
are rendering it as the authors intended it to display. I think workarounds for
out of spec behavior are generally harmful. I'm going to close this, but cc the
maintainer of man.cgi, who can reopen it if he desires. If interested, you
could work with those projects to improve the conformance of their manuals to
the specification. Thanks!
