Thanks for reporting.

This seemed like a trivial bug to me, so i fixed it right away in both
OpenBSD and bsd.lv, see the commit appended below.

It turned out to be less trivial than i thought, i ended up completely
rewriting the manconf_parse() function.  Yes, i am aware that other bug
reports against mandoc are still pending, and i'm a bit behind, you just
got lucky that this one *seemed* simple at first...  "That is probably
easy to do with a three-line diff..."

Yours,
  Ingo


Log Message:
-----------
Make sure that the configuration file is always read, even when
running with the -M option or with a MANPATH environment variable
that has neither a leading or trailing ":" nor any "::".  If -M or
MANPATH override the configuration file rather than adding to it,
just ignore any "manpath" directives while processing the configuration
file.

This fixes a bug reported by Jan Stary <hans at stare dot cz>
on misc@.
