 Hi,
 
 Due to the fact that the man.cgi dymanically generates the HTML page
 from the raw man page, I'm not entirely sure if this problem should be
 fixed in man.cgi or in the actual man page.  man.cgi should perhaps be
 more stringent when generating links to other pages, as the man page
 contains 'one (1)' and not 'one(1)', as is the standard adhered to in
 FreeBSD man pages.
 
 That said, my personal feeling is that the man page could more easily be
 changed with fewer consequences, and I've attached a patch to that end.
 Perhaps someone who knows more than me about this could make a decision
 on where the change should go.
 
 Cheers,
 Marc
