With the following MANPATH

	24% echo $MANPATH
	/usr/man:/usr/sipb/man:/mit/watchmaker/man:/mit/gnu/man:/mit/motif/man

xman exits and prints the following message:

  Xman Error: Too many manual pages in directory /mit/motif/man/man3 recompile
  with A larger value for MAXENTRY.

/mit/motif/man/man3 contains 244 man pages.

If I set my MANPATH to contain only /mit/motif/man, it works okay.

I'm running on a 6.3B pvax with packs from chiroptera
