I just tried to use tramp, in that buffer, which shows a file
on a another, and different system, and then did

  M-x man RET man RET

and the local manpage came up, I then did
`tramp-cleanup-all-connections' and
`tramp-cleanup-all-buffers' and this does not affect the local
man page being displayed.

And why would it ... ha. I don't understand what you guys are
talking about ...
