Description:
Running `man -K <anything here>` and after several steps if anything is found `man` throws SIGABRT

Additional info:

Steps to reproduce:

If any pages are found, quit them and tell man to skip any other found pages.

Works fine here.

$ man -K whois
--Man-- next: whois(1) [ view (return) | skip (Ctrl-D) | quit (Ctrl-C) ]
--Man-- next: lwptut(3pm) [ view (return) | skip (Ctrl-D) | quit (Ctrl-C) ]
$ echo $?

Then that means it probably is failing on some specific input. Shall I add a link to all my /usr/share/man/ tar'ed here?
