you know i wouldn't doubt it if the man pages had options that could override the problem that you were having staticaly rather than the global changes that you made.. even though configuring the confi.files should be the first place to search.. that way if you decide to keep the changes you are not constantly messing with options..
thanx for the update

CATMAN(8) Manual pager utils CATMAN(8)
NAME
catman - create or update the pre-formatted manual pages
SYNOPSIS
catman [-dhV] [-M path] [-C file] [section] ...
DESCRIPTION
catman is used to create an up to date set of pre-formatted manual pages known as cat pages. Cat pages are generally much faster to dis-
play than the original manual pages, but require extra storage space. The decision to support cat pages is that of the local administra-
tor, who must provide suitable directories to contain them.
The options available to catman are the manual page hierarchies and sections to pre-format. The default hierarchies are those specified as
system hierarchies in the man-db configuration file, and the default sections are either the colon-delimited contents of the environment
variable $MANSECT or the standard set compiled into man if $MANSECT is undefined. Supplying catman with a set of whitespace-delimited sec-
tion names will override both of the above.
catman makes use of the index database cache associated with each hierarchy to determine which files need to be formatted.
OPTIONS
-d, --debug
Print debugging information.
-M path, --manpath=path
Specify an alternate colon-delimited manual page hierarchy search path. By default, this is all paths indicated as system hierar-
chies in the man-db configuration file.
-C file, --config-file=file
Use this user configuration file rather than the default of ~/.manpath.
-h, --help
Print a help message and exit.
-V, --version
Display version information.
ENVIRONMENT
MANSECT
If $MANSECT is set, its value is a colon-delimited list of sections and it is used to determine which manual sections to search and
in what order.
MANPATH
If $MANPATH is set, its value is interpreted as the colon-delimited manual page hierarchy search path to use.
FILES
/etc/manpath.config
man-db configuration file.
/usr/man/index.(bt|db|dir|pag)
A traditional global index database cache.
/var/catman/index.(bt|db|dir|pag)
An alternate or FSSTND compliant global index database cache.
