Hi,

In man mode 'm' retrieves the manual page for the word under the cursor.  
Functions that return a pointer (e.g. strcat ) are written in the man pages 
with * in front of their name.  Emacs does not remove the * sign in front of 
the functions and 'm' does not work (e.g. M-x man; string; and than scroll to 
strcat and press 'm').

This patch fixes this.

Hope that helps,

evgeni
