man X|head>~/tempfile
I get:
Error executing formatting or display command.
System command exited with status 36096.
No manual entry for Xsecurity
If I let the output just go to the console, the error messages don't
appear, nor do they appear if I use tail instead of head, nor if I use w
or cat instead of man. Doing this from bash or tcsh, or in a shell
script, or amped off, makes no difference. Choosing a different man page
makes no difference. Using libc 5.2.18, 5.3.3, or 5.3.4 makes no
difference. Using Linux 1.1.76 or 1.3.57 (with ELF and a.out) or 1.3.63
(ELF only) makes no difference. In spite of the errors, the file receives
the correct data. My copy of head came precompiled with Slackware 3.0,
but when I fetched the textutils 1.9 source and compiled it, the new head
gives the same messages.
