Gentlemen, this man page is defective.

.TH "gdalinfo" 1 "Thu Feb 24 2011" "GDAL" \" -*- nroff -*-
.ad l
.nh
.SH NAME
gdalinfo \- .TH "gdalinfo" 1 "Thu Feb 24 2011" "GDAL" \" -*- nroff -*-

It makes

NAME
       gdalinfo - .TH "gdalinfo" 1 "Thu Feb 24 2011" "GDAL"

NAME
       gdalinfo - lists information about a raster dataset
etc.

What is worse, GNU Emacs M-x Man can't deal with it almost at all!
