Actually /usr/share/man/man1/telnet.1.gz is fine.  The problem seems
to be that 'man telnet' is picking up /usr/kerberos/man/man1/telnet.1.gz
and this file is not using 'mandoc' macros.  I did not try to check
what else in /usr/kerberos/man/man1/ will have similar issues.
You can workaround for the time beeing by setting an explicit
MANPATH in /etc/man.config with /usr/kerberos/man further down the
pike.  Currently 'man -w' shows /usr/kerberos/man on the leading
position.

So who is filing a bugzilla report?
