Bug Description
Due to a bug in man-db (already fixed up-stream), ".RS 3" in the manpage causes it to be aliased as "3"
The effect is that any execution of "man 3" or "man 3 unexisting-command" will show the orbd output.
To side-step the bug, he man page should put the text below "orbd \- The Object Request Broker Daemon" in a section other than NAME.

Matthias, could you look at this in time for Feisty, please? The bug seems minor but the consequences are annoying. I'm not ultra-confident enough in my code fix to push that into Feisty, especially as man-db is in main and sun-java6 is in multiverse.
Please also check whether other man pages in this package or in sun-java5 suffer from the same bug (.RS 3 in a NAME section).
