Hi, Athena testers,

I have a minor Athena 8.0F bug report.  I been working on it since
Saturday, on a Sparcstation 5, IP address 18.51.1.98:
  athena% uname -a
  SunOS tombo 5.4 Generic_101945-37 sun4m sparc

The problem is that certain man pages are not available, specifically:
  athena% man X
  No manual entry for X.

One suspects that this is a result of the 8.0F athena_manpath setting,
but an identical setting on 7.7Y (sparc 5, tora, 18.51.0.48) gets me
the X page:
  athena% echo $athena_manpath
  /usr/athena/man:/usr/openwin/man:/usr/man

This happens even when I log in WITHOUT user customizations.
Naturally, some other man pages ARE available.  Thanks for reading
this.
