If "man blah" comes back at you with no output at all even though the manual page is there, check if you have a zero-length .../man/catN/blah.N file, especially on systems with preformatted manual pages. Remove the catN entry and all should be ok. Re the Pyramid "bug", don't worry about it, it was bad code and not Pyramid's fault.
