Problem with a large number of man pages that reference other man pages

A huge number (575) of 'man' pages, that reference other man pages using a
'.so' (source include) reference, fail to work because the plain text files
have the '.gz' extension appended without actually being gzipped. Could
this be due to a mishap in or with the 'cygport' package?
Each reference appears to be okay (I've only tested a handful), if you
remove the '.gz' extension.
Attached is a list of such man page error messages with a few of them
actually verified to have the situation I describe above.
