The SYNOPSIS section of some man pages accessible via http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi is messed up. In particular, it does seem to have problems with backspacing/overstriking. In addition, hard line breaks in the SYNOPSIS seem to be ignored. How-To-Repeat: Click on http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=kill&sektion=1 The SYNOPSIS looks like this, note the repeated characters: SYNOPSIS k ki il ll l [- -s s signal_name] pid ... kill -l [exit_status] kill -signal_n na am me e pid ... kill -signal_n nu um mb be er r pid ... Note also the vanished line breaks, i.e. on my local system kill(1) reads SYNOPSIS kill [-s signal_name] pid ... kill -l [exit_status] kill -signal_name pid ... kill -signal_number pid ...
