Yep, for me, too:
CYGWIN_NT-4.0 1.3.2(0.39/3/2) 2001年05月20日 23:28 i686 unknown
But i use this script (bman) which makes an output to InternetExplorer,
i get the stackdump, but i also get the output to the browser.
Default usage see above commands.
BMAN:
=====
#!/bin/bash
if [[ -z $MANPATH ]]; then
 manpath="/usr/local/man /usr/man"
else
 manpath=${MANPATH//:/ }
fi
startcmd="`cygpath -u -S`/cmd /c start"
if [[ $# -gt 2 || $# -eq 0 ]]; then
 echo
 echo Usage: `basename 0ドル` [section] topic
 echo
 exit 2
elif [[ $# -eq 2 ]]; then
 section=1ドル
 topic=2ドル
elif [[ $# -eq 1 ]]; then
 section='?'
 topic=1ドル
fi
tmpfile=/usr/doc/Manpages/$topic.html
rm -f $tmpfile
manfile=
for m in $manpath; do
 for d in $m/man$section; do
 if [[ -d $d ]]; then
 for f in [[ $d/$topic.* ]]; do
 if [[ -f $f ]]; then
 manfile=$f
 break 3
 fi
 done
 fi
 done
done
if [[ -z $manfile ]]; then
 echo
 echo `basename 0ドル`: no man page found for $topic
 echo
 exit 1
else
 if [[ $manfile == *gz ]]; then
 zcat $manfile | man2html > $tmpfile
 elif [[ $manfile == *bz2 ]]; then
 bzcat $manfile | man2html > $tmpfile
 else
 man2html $manfile > $tmpfile
 fi
 chmod +x $tmpfile
 $startcmd `cygpath -w $tmpfile`
fi
#====
#END:
With this script you will have the HTML-Output in /usr/doc/Manpages 
which needs to be created if it does not exist. You may also change
the drive in the script pointing to another location.
