Oh well,
$ export MANPATH
is missing here. Sorry for not noticing that omission earlier.

Sure, and so will
$ man -m /usr/local/share/man nmap
even without a colon. So many possibilities...
If i were the to re-design the user interface from scratch, there
would be fewer possibilities, but i don't see the point in deleting
ways that used to work in the past, causing gratuitious incompatibility.
