>Description:
	The output of a *roff file that contains "e. g." or "i. e."-like
	abbreviations on a fixed-width font device looks better without
	a blank.  Some years ago I submitted a set of patches that fixed
	all these abbreviations in the NetBSD manual pages.

	In fact, only one of these abbreviations with a blank in the middle
	remain in the NetBSD manual pages.  The patch attached to this
	problem report should fix the one that remains in the most updated
	version of mtree(8).  I understand that it is a minor fix, but
	aesthetical patches are applied to the operating system source too.
