If I recall you never had the problem with the makewhatis script and ssh as
well due to some special config of your ssh (Kerberos?) ? This is with
4.2-STABLE FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE #0: Mon Feb 26
Like the problem with the makewhatis broken pipes (and certain ports), the
problem does not show itself when connecting to the machine via telnet or
rlogin.
