+
+If we have entries in MANPATH that are really symlinks to other entries,
+then many man functions will yield duplicate entries.
+
+Without this patch, we see this behavior:
+$ echo $MANPATH
+/usr/share/man:/usr/man
+$ man --path
+/usr/share/man:/usr/man
+$ ls -ld /usr/share/man /usr/man
+lrwxrwxrwx  1 /usr/man -> /usr/share/man
+drwxr-xr-x 36 /usr/share/man
+$ man -k passwd
+passwd               (1)  - change user password
+passwd               (1)  - change user password
+
+With this patch, we get:
+$ echo $MANPATH
+/usr/share/man:/usr/man
+$ man --path
+/usr/share/man
+$ ls -ld /usr/share/man /usr/man
+lrwxrwxrwx  1 /usr/man -> /usr/share/man
+drwxr-xr-x 36 /usr/share/man
+$ man -k passwd
+passwd               (1)  - change user password
