.SH BUGS
A lot.  The
.BR whatis (5)
database is usually generated automatically on most
systems.  This fails if the "NAME" section has more n/troff fluff than just
an "\e" before the '\-', or is more than one line.  Apply the KISS
principle, try to use a minimum of smart macros, match your .RS and .RE's,
etc.
