patch

audio/cdparanoia has a manpage that ends with ".ce", this causes makewhatis to crash.  Patch included.

Test case will be added too.

test case

A short test case that demonstrates the bug by adding a ".ce" to known good manpage.

Looks like this is no longer a problem with mandoc 1.14.3:

$ uname -v
FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT #1 r326405+2933f3dd7df2(master) ...........
$ sh 220623.sh ; echo $?
without .ce
/tmp/man//man1/a.1: Adding to database
/tmp/man//man1/b.1: Adding to database
with .ce

Thanks for submitting the patch and test case. This is fixed in 11.2 and 12.0 so it must have been fixed in upstream. Closing as OBE.
