What were you trying to do?

read a man page in the rw consult directory.

What's wrong:

	> man -M/afs/.athena/contrib/consult/man net_lookup
	Segmentation fault

What should have happened:

It should have said something like "invalid argument" or so.  Just a
segmentation violation is not nice.  Ideally, it would say:

	use: man -M /afs/.athena/contrib/consult/man net_lookup

Please describe any relevant documentation references:

man(1)
