>Description:
	Certain man pages for some packages need to be parsed through tbl.

	Offending packages (and pages) I know of (i.e. from pkg's I've
	installed):
	    ncurses-1.9.9g	: .../man1/captoinfo.1
				: .../man1/infocmp.1
				: .../man3/cur_addch.3
				: .../man3/cur_mouse.3
				: .../man5/terminfo.5
	    ghostscript-5.10	: .../man1/gs.1
	    zoo-2.10.1		: .../man1/zoo.1
	    ucd-snmp-3.4	: .../man3/mib_api.3

>How-To-Repeat:
	I'd say RTFM but ... :-)

	How to find more?  
	% egrep -l "^[.]TS" /usr/pkg/man/man?/*
	might be a good start.

>Fix:
	There are two obvious ways:  
	1)  save tbl'd and nroff'd pages (i.e. cat/ pages) and PLIST it (or
	    whatever happens)
	2)  save tbl'd but not nroff'd pages (i.e. hacked up man/ pages)

	I would say option 1 is much better than option 2.
