I can tell you that if you remove the awk command at the end of the
filter chain you still get something that looks like a man page.
Otherwise, you get something that looks like
0 (00, 0x0) = ?\C-@
And the process sentinel, understandably, has a hard time parsing it.
I don't know enough about awk nor about the NT shell command processor
to get much further with this one.
This might be enough to enable the people interested in Windows
to fix it.
