The fix for this was added to current last April and was pulled into
the 1.4 branch in August. NetBSD 1.4.1 does suffer from it, but 1.4.2
will not.  The problem is that nroff uses the value of the LC_TYPE and
LESSCHARSET env variables to decide to use -Tlatin1 for groff, which
ends up using 0xAD as a hyphenation character.  To fix it, change the
definition of NROFF in /usr/share/mk/bsd.man.mk to
	   NROFF?= nroff -Tascii
and rebuild your man pages.
