Dear all,
Follwoing the recent discussion of problems with man, I decided to
try and fix it by doing mandb --create. So - I log in, su, and try and run
it -
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# mandb --create

It then just sits there (and indeed the process seems no longer to be
running):

The running process being stop, and the zombie being a runq (zombie) which
I probably should get round to killing.
Should I kill the process, and try again, or what?
Thanks,
Matthew
