[dp: bite size bug with no description: fixing...]

In man.c:

   1259         if ((cwd = getcwd(NULL, MAXPATHLEN+1)) == (char *)NULL) {
   1260                 perror("getcwd");
   1261                 exit(1);
   1262         }

A failing getcwd() is not an error; man(1) should be robust to the disappearance
of the current directory.
