Re: strftime man page is garbled

I think that's exactly what Wayne was talking about:

The beginning of the sentence seems to be missing, although it looks
like a run-in from the NAME section could be intended.  Also, if you
look at that manpage in a wide terminal you'll see that most paragraphs
have hard formatting, while some flow to the width of the terminal.

Both things are happening on other newlib manpages as well, so it's
probably either the source code for the manpages itself or man doesn't
deal with the slightly odd roff macros from newlib correctly.
