What were you trying to do?
I was trying to run catman in the potluck locker, but
I forgot to give it the section argument. I got the following
errors:
catman: opendir: /mit/potluck/man/man1/: No such file or directory
catman: opendir: /mit/potluck/man/man2/: No such file or directory
catman: opendir: /mit/potluck/man/man3/: No such file or directory
catman: opendir: /mit/potluck/man/man4/: No such file or directory

catman: opendir: /mit/potluck/man/man7/: No such file or directory
catman: opendir: /mit/potluck/man/man8/: No such file or directory
^C^Csh: 12616 Memory fault - core dumpedcatman: nroff: /mit/potluck/man/catl/joe.l: exit status 768: Owooooo!
catman: opendir: /mit/potluck/man/mann/: No such file or directory
The core dump is in /mit/bitbucket/core.nroff.decmips. You can
probably repeat it easily. Just try `catman -M /mit/potluck/man'
What's wrong:
I can't tell.
What should have happened:
It should not dump core. Also, I do not consider "Owooooo!" to
be a useful diagnostic message.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
catman(8), nroff(1)
