I had a similar problem on my box which was a 7.2 install upgraded to
RH8.0.  The problem ended up being cause by an old hack in my .bashrc
file.  A few releases back (don't remember when) man was broken out of
the box on xterms.  You had to set 'LESSCHARDEF=.' in one of your
startup files to fix the problem.  Well, in 8.0, that hack causes the
new man to add a lot of garbage to it's output.  Once I commented out
that line in my .bashrc, man worked flawlessly.
