>Description:

When the cat pages were created, there seems to have been a problem with nroff. When doing a man, hyphenated lines, bullets, etc show up as nroff tags rather than the actual bullet. For a good example, do a man on wscons. In cat4/wscons.0, the bullets appear as \xb7, and the hyphenations as \xad. These get translated as <B7> and <AD> by more.

On the other hand, an "nroff -man man4/wscons.4 | more" produces correct output. 
>How-To-Repeat:
Any man page that has hyphenation or bullets. wscons is a perfect example. These were off the stock share.tgz distribution in 1.4.

>Fix:

  I'm going to regenerate the cat pages, but this probably should be fixed before the official NetBSD-1.4 announcement goes out.
