    Hi,

    Quoting StyX (styxMAILBOX.AS):
    > styxSuxOS-devel:~$ man -l %n%n%n%n
    > man: Segmentation fault
    > styxSuxOS-devel:~$
    >
    > This was on my Debian 2.2 potato system (It doesn't dump core though).
    Just for the record:
    on a lot of systems (including Debian), 'man' is not suid/sgid anything, and
    this doesn't impose a security problem.
    I don't know about Suse/Redhat/others.

    Greets,
            Robert
