Man pages messed up when viewed over SSH


Hi all, whenever I ssh into a remote host (I've only tried Linux boxes), man pages always get messed up. This has been an issue for me for a while, but it's not specific to Cygwin. I've tried the cmd, rxvt, and putty, all with similar results (only in putty, the corrupted characters only take up 1 character space, whereas in cmd and rxvt, they become two.) I tried setting the TERM on the remote host to vt100, vt102, rxvt, and xterm, all to no avail. All other apps (vim, emacs, screen, etc.) work just fine, but not man. I don't have a Linux box to try this on, but does anybody know what's causing this? Thanks in advacne.
