Humm, is this only an *example* or there's something real here?
I have not seen any bug report from you about this (although I've got
several for core dumps on bo systems, due to corrupted db).
As the first thing I made when I've got a hamm system working, I
compiled groff and man-db, but I don't remember having seen anything
wrong. So I just now downgraded my hamm system to man-db 2.3.10-38 , and
it works smoothly.

Do you still get core dumps? Don't upgrade or remake indeces.
Please use the unstripped binary (libc5) you can find on my ftp site
ftp://ftp.icenet.fi/private/fpolacco/debian/temp/man.gz 
and help me to get some idea of the problem.

Thanx,
Fabrizio
