>Originator:     Mikhail Teterin
>Release:        FreeBSD 2.1-STABLE i386
>Organization:
>Environment:

	TkMan-1.7.5 (NOT the one in ports -- newer version. All the patches
	applied, though. Only one of them had to be applied manually)

>Description:

	For whatever reason, man -k <whetever> returns 1, which causes
	TkMan to think the child process terminated abnormally and display
	total number of hits as 0. This may well be a man's bug (see
	my problem report bin/1068 for some more on this), I'm not sure.

>How-To-Repeat:

	mi@aldan:xcoral/work/xcoral-2.5 (1061) man -k less
	jpegtran(1)              - lossless transcoding of JPEG files
	less(1)                  - opposite of more
	lesskey(1)               - specify key bindings for less
	clnp(4)                  - Connectionless-Mode Network Protocol
	cltp(4)                  - ISO Connectionless Transport Protocol
	mi@aldan:xcoral/work/xcoral-2.5 (1062) echo $status
	1

	If tkman is asked for less-apropos, it will display the same list
	and say "child process terminated abnormally", 0 matches.

>Fix:
	
	alias man (man || true)
		?
