Hmmmm, I seem to remember having this problem, and it went away
after I discoverd that one of the shared library links wasn't
linked to an existent library. I believe I discovered that when
I executed groff againts a man page, and it told me in no uncertain
terms that it couldn't load a particular shared library.

Hope this helps.
