Hi,

I encounter a problem when viewing manuals via man(1) command.

The case is simple, when I try to search something, I press =A1=AE/=A1=AF,=
 and then input the pattern, If it got something in the page, it will =
direct me into the specified place, and then, I continue with =A1=AFn=A1=AF=
, and it goes well.
But the problem is, after a sequence of =A1=AFn=A1=AF, the screen go to =
the end of the manual pages, and keeping press =A1=AFn=A1=AF, I got =
annoying =A1=B0...skipping...=A1=B1, the page is full of skipping and =
parts of the end of the manual page.

Is this a bug of man(1) or just a feature?
