Development man pages problem...



I have noticed a consistent failure with the development man pages. For
instance, if I do a 'man atof' I get the following:

*** NAME ***
     atof - convert a string to a double.

*** SYNOPSIS ***
     #include

     double atof(const char *nptr

*** DESCRIPTION ***
and the rest follows.

Note, the #include line leaves out the most valuable piece of information.
(That is, the files to include)

I am running a mixed libc5/libc6 system, and have only upgraded those
packages that are necessary to development, so I probably haven't upgraded
man. Is it possible that this is where the problem lies, or are the man
pages really broken?

Thanks,

Dwarf
