man problems.



Whenever I invoke man as user for a man page I havne't read before I get
this:

bash-2.01$ man pppd 
Reformatting pppd(8), please wait...
man: can't create /var/catman/cat8/572: Bad file descriptor
zsoelim: /tmp/zman00572aaa: No such file or directory
man: can't remove /tmp/zman00572aaa: Bad file descriptor

and then I get a largely blank xterm with :

man: can't unlink /var/catman/cat8/572: Bad file descriptor
 Manual page pppd(8) line ?/? (END)

at the bottom.

I can read them as root fine, and when I go back to them as a normal user
they're fine then too. What's gone wrong and how do I fix it?
