If you want all of them shown as all manual pagers did on various UNIXes
or Linux over the last 20 years, use "export MANOPT=-a" which will show
all manual pages one after the other. Previous behaviour which showed
one pre-selected page (dunno which, though) can be achieved by using
"export MAN_POSIXLY_CORRECT=1".

HTH, cheers.
