This is definitely a problem with the space in the
directory. I copied the man page to a directory
without spaces and it worked.
I think man's behavior should be modified for cygwin
as home directories in Windows 2000+ will always have
spaces, and space is filenames and directories is
allowed by the spec.
Thanks.
