Subject: xman doesn't display full manual page

Package: xbaseR6
Version: 0.93-7

xman doesn't display the full manual page (for example, selecting the
section 8 manual page 'lpd', it discards the NAME and SYNOPSIS section
and part of the first sentence of DESCRIPTION).

The xman manual page claims great flexibility in configuring xman, but
none of the advertised options are relevant.
