[SUMMARY] 6.4 - manpath eats CPU

Jean-François, (FYI. All), Thanks for your suggestion. After I removed all non-existant paths from /etc/manpath.config, the problem seems to have been corrected. Perhaps SuSE should consider checking their install routines which populate the file with the non-existant paths in the first place. Regards, Andy "Jean-François Bocquet" wrote:
