Hi all,

I'm running F20 on gnome3 desktop,
and I see some weird effect in the man command (entered in a gnome
terminal) if using the "-P" command option:

man -P cat man >/dev/null

should use the cat command as pager. I get the expected effect, but one
or more additional messages to stderr:

<standard input>:981: warning [p 7, 5.8i, div `3tbd1,0', 0.0i]: cannot
adjust line
<standard input>:990: warning [p 7, 5.8i, div `3tbd4,0', 0.0i]: cannot
adjust line


Anybody knows what this means? No such message if the gnome terminal is
wide enough.

Kind regards

Joachim Backes
