Re: makewhatis problem

[Bill Mitchell <mitchell@mdd.comm.mot.com>]

I had to twiddle/usr/sbin/makewhatis to get it to work.  Bofore I
got it working, it did hang my system solid once.  The three-finger
salute would not reboot it.  I had to resort to the reset switch,
and fsck had some cleanup to do.

Here's the changes I ended up making:

              do
                  sed -n '/^\.TH.*$/p
                          /^\.SH[         ]*NAME/,/^\.SH/p' $f |\

                  }'
              done
-             cd ..
          fi
      done | sort | colrm 80 > $dir/whatis.db.tmp
      mv $dir/whatis.db.tmp $dir/whatis
