I am running man-db, and I still had the problem.  I don't think it's
man though.  I think it's bash, or my misuse of "set".

The problem can be demonstrated like this (if you have bash-2.0
installed):

$ set -a
$ set +a
# man man

I got rid of all the "set -a"'s in my code, and the problem is gone.
