It turns out that if there are too many entries in /etc/manpath.config man will core dump. I sent a trace of this already. I had done one too many portupgrade -f that included perl. The use.perl script blindly adds additional lines # -- use.perl generated line -- # OPTIONAL_MANPATH /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.5/man OPTIONAL_MANPATH /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.5/perl/man and I ended up with a bunch of these. You can reproduce the problem by simply adding enough duplicates of these lines into /etc/manpath.config. use.perl does the same thing with /etc/make.conf but at least in that case it is harmless.
