man-db 2.5.5
This is a quick bug-fix release to correct handling of non-default
encodings specified in manual pages' preprocessor lines, and to correct
an uninitialised variable noticed by Dustin Marquess that could lead to
excessive memory allocation and possible crashes. Changes relative to
2.5.4 are otherwise minimal.
