Description sec 1998-09-15 11:00:01 UTC 
If you install the zsh port without setting NOMANCOMPRESS=true
the zsh-meta-manpage 'man zshall' is broken.

This is because it sources the other manpages with:

.so man1/zshmisc.1
.so man1/zshexpn.1
.so man1/zshbuiltins.1
.so man1/zshcompctl.1
.so man1/zshparam.1
.so man1/zshzle.1
.so man1/zshoptions.1

which unfortunately are gzipped.

Fix: 

Not sure about this ? force NOMANCOMPRESS=true for this ?

fix '.so' in nroff to know about .gz'ed files ?
How-To-Repeat: 
cd /usr/ports/shells/zsh
make NOMANCOMPRESS=false install
man zshall

Bill Fumerola fixed this in revision 1.37 of ports/shells/zsh/Makefile. 
Thanks to William Andrews for pointing this out.
