>Environment:
System:		NetBSD mildred 0.9a MILDRED#5 i386
Machine:	 i386
>Description:

If nroff aborts, rather than ending normally, an incorrect result can
be left in the output file. The system makefile rules don't discard
nroff output files if nroff aborts. If 'make -k' was done to rebuild
the system, during subsequent installation, the man pages will be
overwritten with these bogus output files.

>How-To-Repeat:

mv /usr/share/tmac /usr/share/tmac.xxx
cd /usr/src/sbin/ping
rm ping.0
make
make install
man ping
