>Description:
"makemandb" crashes on my machine every night. Here is the message
from the daily(5) output:

assertion "MAN_BLOCK == p->parent->type" failed: file "/src/NetBSD-6/src/external/bsd/mdocml/lib/libmandoc/../../dist/man.c", line 212, function "man_node_append"
Building temporary file cache
[1]   Abort trap (core dumped) (umask 022; nice...

The crash is triggered by the file "/usr/pkg/man/man5/dictionary.5" (or
"/usr/pkg/man/man5/dictionary.5.gz" in my case) which belongs to the
"freeradius2" package.

>How-To-Repeat:
Install the "freeradius2" package and check the daily(5) e-mail on the
next morning.

>Fix:
None provided.

 Joerg Sonnenberger has fixed the bogus manual page:

 http://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-changes/2012/03/12/msg069220.html

 To reproduce the problem one needs to remove that patch file.

 	Kind regards

 This seems to have been fixed in the interim. I can't duplicate it in
 current (7.99.6) sources using the sample (unpatched) man page. I
 don't have any 6.x installations to test with, so I don't know if
 this is still relevant for that branch.

 For the record, it is: see 50121. (closed as a duplicate)
