This is also true of man for most other commands. Run under xterm, and with it's output redirected to a file, "man bash" produces complete results. If I use edebug to look step Man-bgproc-sentinel, I find that the buffer is already truncated, suggesting a deaper bug perhaps. This bug is reproducable. It happens the same way every time.
