I observe a confusing discrepancy between Cygwin installations on two systems, all with cygwin 2.11.1: On one system (both cygwin32 and cygwin64), /usr/share/man has man3/regex.3.gz and man3p/regcomp.3p, both pages describe functions regcomp, regexec, regerror and regfree, but in different format (from man3, it says BSD manual). On the other system, none of them exists, nor any other /usr/share/man/*/reg* (MANPATH not set). But `man regcomp` nonetheless displays a manpage, with those 4 functions and additionally wcs_regcomp and wcs_regexec. Can anyone resolve this weirdness? Thanks, Thomas
