Hi,

This warren I'm in is John's fault.

Talking of man-db and gxditview...

    $ pacman -Q man-db groff
    man-db 2.8.4-1
    groff 1.22.3-7
    $ man -X100 core
    groff: gxditview: Signal 31 (core dumped)
    man: command exited with status 2:

    $ coredumpctl info

    $

Manually running man-db's pipeline, feeding it what I expect it set up,
works fine.  The X window appears with core(5).
