It also happens on 7.0-CURRENT but not on 4.11-STABLE (Aug 31, 2005)
>Description:
Two entries of {any}grep manual jammed together (-F and -P).
>How-To-Repeat:
# man grep | col -b | grep -A3 fixed-strings
-F, --fixed-strings
Interpret PATTERN as a list of fixed strings, separated by new-
lines, any of which is to be matched. -P, --perl-regexp Inter-
pret PATTERN as a Perl regular expression.
>Fix:
Split -F and -P entries.
# zgrep -n '.BR \\-P ", " \\-\\^\\-perl-regexp' /usr/share/man/man1/grep.1.gz
204:.BR \-P ", " \-\^\-perl-regexp
Maybe .BR should be .BI ? (sorry, I'm not a nroff master :-)
