Problem with xman-1.1.3-1

Hi,

When I use xman 1.1.3-1 to view man pages it renders the pages as
postscript. It seems to omit the step to process the PS.

So I see stuff like this
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%%Creator: groff version 1.22.2
...
...

Using man to display the page works fine.

When I use xman 1.1.2-1 the man page is also rendered correctly.

Steps to repro
1)Install cygwin using setup-x86.exe (version 2.831).

I choose all of Base (Default)

and from X11
xinit
xman
xorg-server
xorg-server-common
xterm
X-start-menu-icons

2) Start->Cygwin-X->XWin Server

3) From xterm type xman -notopbox

4) Confirm xman version using Options->Show Version

5) Display man page for cat by Options->Display Directory and selecting cat

6) You should see postscript displayed for xman 1.1.3-1

I downloaded xman-1.2.2-1.tar.bz2 and using xman.exe from there I
confirmed that I can successfully see man pages.

cygcheck.out and XWin.0.log attached. Note that files contain
XXREDACTEDXX where information was redacted.
