Weirdness with man-db

[David Welton <davidw@master.debian.org>]

Was wondering why man is so slow on the NW...

Straced it and got this (amonst other things)

open("/var/catman/local/index.bt", O_RDONLY) = 4
...
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {1, 0})     = 0 (Timeout)
...
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {1, 0})     = 0 (Timeout)
...
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {1, 0})     = 0 (Timeout)
...

This doesn't happen on my intel box, and seems like it may be what is
making it so slow.

I'd be curious if others get this too, andif anyone else has better
luck compiling man-db...  I'll let people know if I get it to work.

Ciao,
