What happens if you do 'man bash' in the shell?
Does it output the complete file?
On Debian, I have the bash man page here:
/usr/share/man/man1/bash.1.gz
You can use 'whereis bash' to find out where, if you
feds have it somewhere else.
If the man in the shell (/usr/bin/man) outputs the
complete file (or, equivalently, the file is
consistent) then yes, you have discovered a HUGE bug.
But let's hold our breath just a little longer.
