A user had /mit/sipb/man in his $MANPATH. "man rrn" worked fine, but
"man rrn > /tmp/foo" would give the error "can't open file man1/rn.1".
"man -t rrn" breaks similarly. It appears that these invocations of
man are trying to run *roff on the file, and failing to dtrt with the
contents of ".so man1/rn.1".
