Try ktrace'ing etc.. running 'man' as root. I am not sure but I think
ktrace will work on an suid program run as root.
If that fails then give the 'man' user a shell, su - man, chmod the
binary so it is no longer suid, and ktrace it from the man account that
way. (and be sure to cleanup the above mess after you track the problem
down :-)
