Furthermore, I probably did not set any of those strange paths myself (this is afterall Windows ;) ).
@Eliot: Good idea to set MANPATH!>MANPATH=/usr/share/man PATH="/usr/bin:/foo" strace man bar |grep 'foo/share'
returns nothing and fixes the issue!IMHO at least in Windows/Cygwin creating MANPATH from PATH makes no sense! (although I now get the idea what was the rationell!) Reasonably setting MANPATH should IMHO be a default...

Tbh I haven't looked at the man source code. Thx in advance!
