Subject: 24.3.50; `M-x man' does not handle case appropriately

Please reopen bug #10840, or fix it here.

This is Eli's comment on the Emacs bug that needs fixing:

  In any case, "M-x man" should handle this kind of output gracefully,
  which it evidently doesn't.

See bug #10840 for recipe and details.
