I tried to reproduce the issue from the sources, both in the release and the dev branch and I can't. My guess is that it is indeed an issue with help2man as the headers shows: .\" DO NOT MODIFY THIS FILE! It was generated by help2man 1.49.3. I use a debian testing. This issue seems to be in the sources tarball. My wild guess is that Gavin uses an older help2man with that issue. -- Pat
