Oddly enough, it seems to.  In fact, just adding the '-c' option to
NROFF in man.conf, without having to remove '-Tlatin' or add the
'2> /dev/null' (which I'm not sure would work under tcsh anyway).
That is, man stops bolding too many things, and it turns off properly
when I exit.

So why do I have to 'revert to the old behaviour of grotty', which is
what the nroff -c seems to be doing, before man will bold things
properly?
