>Description:
In the ncurses man page (cf. pkgsrc/devel/ncurses), in ncurses.3,
there seems to be a macro that's not expanded correctly.

In the man page it starts like this (table of routines ncurses supports):

.TS
center tab(/);
l l
l l .
\fBcurses\fR Routine Name/Manual Page Name
=
addch/\fBcurs_addch\fR(3X)
addchnstr/\fBcurs_addchstr\fR(3X)
addchstr/\fBcurs_addchstr\fR(3X)
addnstr/\fBcurs_addstr\fR(3X)

In the man page it looks like this

       center  tab(/); l l l l .  curses Routine Name/Manual Page
       Name  =  addch/curs_addch(3X)  addchnstr/curs_addchstr(3X)
       addchstr/curs_addchstr(3X)         addnstr/curs_addstr(3X)

>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/pkgsrc/devel/ncurses
make install
man ncurses
go to line 221 (in ncurses 4.2)
