Good sleuthing!  I deleted the '/usr/man/cat1' directory (the only catX
directory I had) and the problem went away.

it work without the cat1 directory?  Or better, why does it need it?

My gzip also summed the same as his.  That would indicate (I would
think) that ours is OK, since he is not having that problem.
