Man page segfault?


I recently upgraded my kernel to 2.6.12. So far there haven't been too many side effects, except for this one:
Quote:
[root@localhost /home/me]# man date
DATE(1) User Commands DATE(1)

NAME
date - print or set the system date and time

SYNOPSIS
date [OPTION]... [+FORMAT]
date [-u|--utc|--universal] [MMDDhhmm[[CC]YY][.ss]]

DESCRIPTION
Display the current time in the given FORMAT, or set the system date.

-d, --date=STRING
display time described by STRING, not `now'

-f, --file=DATEFILE
like --date once for each line of DATEFILE

-ITIMESPEC, --iso-8601[=TIMESPEC]
output date/time in ISO 8601 format. TIMESPEC=`date' for date
only, `hours', `minutes', or `seconds' for date and time to
the indicated precision. --iso-8601 without TIMESPEC defaults
Error executing formatting or display command.
System command (cd /usr/man && (echo ".ll 7.6i"; echo ".pl 1100i"; /bin/gunzip -c '/usr/man/man1/date.1.gz'; echo ".\\\""; echo ".pl \n(nlu+10") | /usr/bin/gtbl | /usr/bin/nroff -S -mandoc | /usr/bin/less -is) exited with status 256.
No manual entry for date
[root@localhost /home/me]#

Anyone know what's going on here?
