The problem is that the number returned by '(Man-columns)'
is inapplicable in case of "MANWIDTH".

So I will add a check for 'Man-columns' like below.

However, before pushing the patch, let's solve another problem
that the manpage window jumps back to the beginning
even on a window system.  Here is the reproducible test case:

1. emacs -Q
2. M-x man RET man RET
3. C-M-v (scroll-other-window)
4. Reduce the width of the frame
5. manpage window jumps back to the beginning

So unless Martin has objections, I will also change
'with-current-buffer' to 'with-selected-window':

diff --git a/lisp/man.el b/lisp/man.el
index 29c3dec501c..ba4f01122e2 100644
--- a/lisp/man.el

         (let ((proc (get-buffer-process (current-buffer))))
           (unless (and proc (not (eq (process-status proc) 'exit)))
