Yep, correct. Its an Eterm bug, I just tried running xterm not from Eterm. Any ideas on why it happened only on the ppp(8) page as well?
What can I do about it now? Perhaps Joerg could patch it in the pkgsrc tree?

because the ppp man page is so long that it doesn't fit in the default buffer.


workarounds:
1. ignore it
2. recompile man, matt changed it so zcat doesn't report warnings
3. use a different terminal (isn't eterm ugly as hell?)
4. talk with the eterm creators why they do this + tell them they should reset all signals to SIG_DFL when starting the shell
5. use zsh (anyways a good idea), it seems to reset the signals to default

cheers
