>Description:

	There is some broken text in /usr/share/man/whatis.  As I
        understand it, this text is processed out of the man/man*
        files by makewhatis(1).  As the (nroffed form of the) man
        page in question appears to be OK, the program may be NG.
        Of course, it could also be that the manual page's troff
        code is broken in a way that gets by man(1), but offends
        makewhatis(1).  Too deep for me...

>How-To-Repeat:

	% grep '^ed(1)' /usr/share/man/w*
        ed(1), -(1)              - ed, red text editor
        % zcat /usr/share/man/cat1/ed.1.gz | head -5

        ED(1)        FreeBSD General Commands Manual         ED(1)

        NAME
             ed, red - text editor


>Fix:

	Either fix all the man pages that use the construction in
        question or fix makewhatis(1) to accept it...
