If anyone has any ideas or suggestions for fixing this, I'd appreciate

I ran into this problem today, too -- I'm not sure what changed (updated
man package?), but I've long had the following in my ~/.bashrc:
export PAGER=less
It seems that now, this environment variable overrides the setting in
/usr/share/misc/man.conf:
PAGER=less -isrR
I fixed the problem by (1) leaving the PAGER setting in ~/.bashrc, but
(2) ALSO setting MANPAGER in ~/.bashrc
export MANPAGER='less -isrR'
