Bug#2799: mandb doesn't like manpage for dc



There is a question here as to whether this bug should be
reported against the bc package or the man package.
I'm reassigning this to the man package, because the
construct:

   .SH
   NAME
   dc

is processed by the man(1) program OK, and because the man(7)
man page says:

  SECTIONS
       Sections are started with  .SH  followed by  the  heading
       name.  If the name contains spaces and appears on the same
       line as .SH, then place  the  heading  in  double  quotes.
       [...]

Which I read to impliy that it is legal to place the heading name
on the line following the .SH macro.
