Bug Description

Binary package hint: libblas-doc

Eg in DSYRK(3),

----- cut -----
NAME
       DSYRK - perform one of the symmetric rank k operations C := alpha*A*A' + beta*C,

SYNOPSIS
----- cut -----

But NAME should continue - look at the Fortran source code, which has

----- cut -----
* DSYRK performs one of the symmetric rank k operations
*
* C := alpha*A*A' + beta*C,
*
* or
*
* C := alpha*A'*A + beta*C,
----- cut -----

I guess that the man pages are autogenerated and the script detects boundaries wrong. Likewise in the PURPOSE section of man pages.
