Binary package hint: man-db
When calling 'man' with a full path like in :
% man /usr/bin/man
and quitting (with key 'q') crashes 'man' with this error message :
*** glibc detected *** man: double free or corruption (!prev): 0x0000000001f0a7b0 ***
======= Backtrace: =========

Thanks for your report. This was https:/ /savannah. nongnu. org/bugs/ ?31633, which I fixed in man-db 2.5.8. The package in Natty shouldn't suffer from this bug.
