The problem was that I was using the following cygwin.bat. With
CYGWIN=ntsec. Remarking out the line lets the man pager find the
man pages.
-------------------------------------------------
@rem Cygwin.bat
@echo off
@rem set CYGWIN=ntsec remarking out lets the man pager work
C:
chdir \cygwin\bin
bash --login -i

I'm having difficulty understanding CYGWIN security, so I'd really
like some pointers as to why this would happen. I'm logged on as a
