On my SuSE GNU linux computer, indeed not only the emacs command
"M-x man RET CAT RET" is case insensitive, but also the command `man
CAT' invoked from the shell prompt. (I only tried this computer
before submitting the bug report because I use it most often.)
On a computer with Fedora GNU linux, both commands fail, the emacs
command "M-x man RET CAT RET" and the command `man CAT' invoked from
the shell prompt.
I have no idea what is causing this inconsistent behavior.
(I wish that at least emacs would give me a consistent behavior on
different platforms.)
