The udev man page has a passage,

       The following keys can get values assigned:

       NAME
          The name of the node to be created, or the name the network interface

whereupon Man Narrow mode thinks it found a new page and one needs M-n
to get to the rest of the page.

I haven't been able to reproduce this at all.  M-x man RET udev RET 
displays the
entire udev manpage, with no anomalies.  I can't seem to find the Man Narrow
mode referred to in the message in the Emacs source tree.

Please give a precise testcase if you want this worked on.

Happens for me, with udev version 0.098-2.

Looks like Man-first-heading-regexp allows whitespace before NAME.
Could that occur when man prints to a tty (I'm guessing it might put
some left margin when going to a line printer)?

Can you send a precise recipe?  What I do is

emacs -q
M-x man RET udev RET
C-x o
n n n n n n   or   C-n repeatedly

This scrolls through the udev manpage, reaching the botton without any
trouble.

Yes, that's enough (though I did emacs -Q).

C-n or C-v stop at

	The following keys can get values assigned:

and you have to do M-n to see the next page.  It probably happens on
any page with a ".TP NAME" in a list.
