Hi,

I just discovered recently that `man *` where * is anything results in a 
segmentation fault.

The stackdump is:

Everything else seems to work, and I have no idea when this error 
started occuring, because I've been using Cygwin and updating to the 
latest when possible.

Current cygwin version 2.871.

Thanks,
Roger
