Summary:  man pages format incorrectly on some systems

Original Submission:  I have done a little man file cleaning.

The worst problem is the use of .ll +8 -- on both my Ubuntu Linux box and my 
FC2 box that makes all long lines wrap around because it makes groff believe 
that the right margin is 8 characters further to the right than it really is.

David Wheeler has written a nice program called manlint to catch non-portable 
constructions like that.

The diff was generated by:

cd /big/pnet-cvs
cvs diff -u > man-patch

where /big/pnet-cvs is the directory I checked out in (i.e. the one that 
contains CVS/, CVSROOT/, pnet/, pnetlib/, treecc/, etc).
