>Description:
"makemandb" crashes on my machine every night. Here is the message
from the daily(5) output:

assertion "MAN_BLOCK == p->parent->type" failed: file 
"/src/NetBSD-6/src/external/bsd/mdocml/lib/libmandoc/../../dist/man.c", line 
212, function "man_node_append"
Building temporary file cache
[1]   Abort trap (core dumped) (umask 022; nice...

The crash is triggered by the file "/usr/pkg/man/man5/dictionary.5" (or
"/usr/pkg/man/man5/dictionary.5.gz" in my case) which belongs to the
"freeradius2" package.

>How-To-Repeat:
Install the "freeradius2" package and check the daily(5) e-mail on the
next morning.

>Fix:
None provided.
