Running emacs with -Q does not solve this. What happens if you do 'man bash' in the shell? Does it output the complete file? On Debian, I have the bash man page here: /usr/share/man/man1/bash.1.gz You can use 'whereis bash' to find out where, if you feds have it somewhere else. If the man in the shell (/usr/bin/man) outputs the complete file (or, equivalently, the file is consistent) then yes, you have discovered a HUGE bug. But let's hold our breath just a little longer. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
