Actually, I don't think it should be disregarded, because the script
turned up a bug in /usr/ucb/man on the DECstation.  With Kevin's
MANPATH, the following command fails:

# 106 w20-575-62 Jul 15 10:06pm sipb/src/src
; /usr/ucb/man -M $MANPATH -f man
Segmentation fault
Exit 139
# 107 w20-575-62 Jul 15 10:06pm sipb/src/src
; echo $MANPATH
/afs/sipb/project/sipb/man:/usr/athena/man:/usr/man:~/man:/afs/athena/contrib/watchmaker/man

/usr/athena/bin/man is is fine, so this won't affect most users, but the
bug should be sent to DEC anyway.

(I've already talked to Kevin about his MANPATH, so don't flame about it
here.)
