Just for the record, the amiga community saw strange behaviour of
man sometime ago. It turned out to be a console bug with underlines,
which hardly any other application than man uses. Well, it's "less"
I suppose, but most files you "less" don't have underline sequences
in it except those nroffed.
My guess: check underlining in your console! Don't flame me if I'm
wrong, it's just a guess.
