I have seen a similar behaviour in other TOS-binaries, like the less & the
man i previously used. It made me very frustrated until i noticed what was
wrong, for example: man curs_addstr only got me the manual for curs_addch. 
I looked in the man-folder, and they seemed to be different files with
different filelengths, so i less:ed the curs_addstr file and got the same
text. That was driving me crazy. :-)
