I'd noticed something like that while using xman; the last (third)
column of entries would not appear unless the window was re-sized a
couple of pixels wider.  I've got xman set to display the man page
names top-bottom, left-right, rather than the default, so it was
obvious that the man pages from (say) t-z were missing.  With
the default, you'd lose every third man page, which might not
be noticed right away.

I suspect that one of them thar widget thangs is broke, but I don't
have the cleverness (or gumption) to dig it up and try to fix it.
