The man page formats correctly for me under -current and a 3.3-RC
install.  From the cvs log for that particular man page, and from looking
at the man page source, I don't see anything that should be affecting the 
standards output.

Verify that your copy of /usr/src/lib/libc/gen/glob.3 isn't corrupt,
or that the installed copy of the man page isn't corrupt.
