I found a bug while working with Bsd/OS bsdi-man v 1.2. It produces
query-string like:
''.../cgi-bin/bsdi-man?proto=1.0&query=whatever§ion=1&apropos=0''
(The char before ''ion'' is a section-char). The error is, that
''ampersand''sect stands for the section-char. What I did is to change
the name for the parameter ''section'' to ''sction''. As I looked at
http://www.bsdi.com/bsdi-man/, I saw that they changed it to
''msection''. Below are the changes I made:

82c82
< 	$section = $form{'sction'};
---
> 	$section = $form{'section'};
165c165
< 	    "&sction=", &encode_url($section), "&apropos=0\">",
---
> 	    "&section=", &encode_url($section), "&apropos=0\">",
254c254
<     return "<A HREF=\"$BASE?proto=$protocol&query=$link&sction=$section&apropos=0\">$matched</A>";
---
>     return "<A HREF=\"$BASE?proto=$protocol&query=$link&section=$section&apropos=0\">$matched</A>";
