197	man: LIBC panic if run from root dir	Lewis Rosenthal		"man 2.7.6.1-2 (i686) gets us:

man.exe: fork failed: No such file or directory

LIBC PANIC!!
LIBC fork: Child aborting fork()! rc=0xfffffffe

when run from \. Changing to any subdirectory one or more levels deep, whether in %PATH% or not, alleviates the symptom. I know we've seen this with other things (yum, for example, or python; see https://trac.netlabs.org/rpm/ticket/252).

The more likely solution for this is in LIBC or perhaps LIBCX. Feel free to close this when an appropriate ticket is opened. Sorry to be a nuisance with this one."	defect	closed	major		*none		highest	duplicate
