Comment:

 If you run `man ... | less -r` the man page looks OK as well. man can
 actually be configured to invoke less with this switch (in
 /system/settings/man.conf), but in the man sources one can find a comment
 that having to do that indicates some kind of misconfiguration. I don't
 know what that refers to exactly, but I think the first step should be to
 oursource and update our ancient less.
