From: John Carr <jfc@ATHENA.MIT.EDU>

In 6.0 and 6.1 there are many man pages that are formatted so that they are
not read properly by man -k.  Here are some that are in 6.1C.

(edited output from the union of
   man -M /usr/man -k 'e'
and
   man -M /usr/man -k 's'
) 

I chose 
	(1) anything which had *roff formatting commands in the text
	(2) anything which had a period (".") after the description
	    (in the name of consistency, since most man pages do not
	     have a period at the end of the line)
	(3) games (they are not in the release)
