System: NetBSD rvc2.informatik.ba-stuttgart.de 1.3I NetBSD 1.3I (RVC2) #1: Thu Dec 24 10:54:16 CET 1998 helbig@RVC2:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/RVC2 i386


>Description:
	The command
		apropos strings
	displays two lines for one man page. (strings(1) and banner(1))
>How-To-Repeat:
	See above.
>Fix:
	<how to correct or work around the problem, if known
	(multiple lines)> Apply the following patch to
	libexec/getNAME/getNAME.c. The original version put a space
	after the name description if an empty line follows the
	name section--as in string's(1) man page. Since makewhatis
	extracts the name description from the formatted pages as
	well-- but without the trailing blank--we end up with two
	different entries.
	The unformatted man page of banner(1/6) has a trailing space
	in the .Nm line--so here are patches fixing that as well.
