[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Why on EEEPC 702 does emacs's M-x man miscalculate the screen width,
causing M-x man to go beyond the edge as shown in the attached screenshot.

I use http://jidanni.org/comp/configuration files

This sometimes happens to me, too (on trunk, but I'm not sure it
matters); I haven't investigated, probably something to do with window
configuration at the time you run `man'. In any case, I doubt it has
anything to do with "EEEPC 702" specifically, whatever that is.

Ah, probably need these in .emacs in order for M-x man to always
work properly
(setenv "PAGER" "cat")
(setenv "LESS" nil)
(setenv "COLUMNS" nil)
(setenv "LINES" nil)

I'm unable to reproduce this bug.  Does it happen always or just
sometimes?
