  Looking at the docs for the -P option, that would be bound to be wrong
anyway.  "-c" isn't a seperate option, it's the argument to -P.

  Your $PATH is a bit messy.  What's in that emacs bin directory?  What
about the QNX bin dir?  

  I'm wondering if there's various versions of the gnu tools on your system
and they're clashing.  What happens when you try 'which troff groff man'?
