Thanks for your report. However, as far as I can tell this is not in
fact the case. 'man --debug man' says:

  *manpath search path* = 
/home/cjwatson/man:/usr/local/man:/usr/local/share/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/X11R6/man

Could you please provide some evidence of the symptoms you're seeing,
including the version of man-db on your system? The full output of 'man
--debug' for an example manual page would be best.
