I don't want to know for a specific manpage.  I want to write a test to
see if it will fail.  I don't want to run mandb to do it.  I looked in
the source to man-db but after 15 minutes I didn't see it and I didn't
have much time to play with it.  I'd like to do this robustly but it's
not a requirement.  :)
