	it is really a 5.1 userland with a newer kernel
>Description:
	Several X manpages are misformatted. It appears like not all
	preprocessors for the nroff source have been used, such as tbl(1).

>How-To-Repeat:
	$ man XCreateGC
	...
	STRUCTURES
	    The XGCValues structure contains:

	    /* GC attribute value mask bits */

	    lw(.5i) lw(2.5i) lw(.75i).  T{ #define T}   T{ GCFunction T}   T{
	    (1L<<0) T} T{ #define T}   T{ GCPlaneMask T}   T{ (1L<<1) T} T{ #define
	    T}   T{ GCForeground T}   T{ (1L<<2) T} T{ #define T}   T{ GCBackground
	    T}   T{ (1L<<3) T} T{ #define T}   T{ GCLineWidth T}   T{ (1L<<4) T} T{
	    #define T}   T{ GCLineStyle T}   T{ (1L<<5) T} T{ #define T}   T{
	    GCCapStyle T}   T{ (1L<<6) T} T{ #define T}   T{ GCJoinStyle T}   T{
	    (1L<<7) T} T{ #define T}   T{ GCFillStyle T}   T{ (1L<<8) T} T{ #define
	    T}   T{ GCFillRule T}   T{ (1L<<9) T} T{ #define T}   T{ GCTile T}   T{
	    (1L<<10) T} T{ #define T}   T{ GCStipple T}   T{ (1L<<11) T} T{ #define
	    T}   T{ GCTileStipXOrigin T}   T{ (1L<<12) T} T{ #define T}   T{
	    GCTileStipYOrigin T}   T{ (1L<<13) T} T{ #define T}   T{ GCFont T}   T{
	    (1L<<14) T} T{ #define T}   T{ GCSubwindowMode T}   T{ (1L<<15) T} T{

	By grepping for 'T{', it seems at least these X manpages are affected:

	/usr/X11R7/man/cat3/XAllocSizeHints.0
	/usr/X11R7/man/cat3/XAllocStandardColormap.0
	/usr/X11R7/man/cat3/XAllocWMHints.0
	/usr/X11R7/man/cat3/XChangeKeyboardControl.0
	/usr/X11R7/man/cat3/XConfigureWindow.0
	/usr/X11R7/man/cat3/XCreateGC.0
	/usr/X11R7/man/cat3/XCreateWindow.0
	/usr/X11R7/man/cat3/XGetVisualInfo.0
	/usr/X11R7/man/cat3/XGetWindowAttributes.0
	/usr/X11R7/man/cat3/XmbLookupString.0
	/usr/X11R7/man/cat3/XmbTextListToTextProperty.0
	/usr/X11R7/man/cat3/XrmEnumerateDatabase.0

>Fix:
	Workaround:

	$ tbl /usr/X11R7/man/man3/XCreateGC.3 | nroff -mandoc | more

	this still seems to give dodgy output in the table of CG functions though:

	        -----------------------------------------------
		Function Name     Value   Operation
		-----------------------------------------------



		()                                                                       
	    ()

 Something did, but that's not it. The right change is -r1.8 of
 src/external/mit/xorg/lib/libX11/Makefile. I've requested pullup; see
 PR 36600.
