It is in the arch man page. Seems likely that you did an upgrade install
and still have the 10.4 manpage around. The leopard manpages are
compressed so the files do not overwrite the older ones at install time.

So, what you're telling me is that, in addition to of all the various architecture/OS/Xcode version combinations I have to worry about (PPC Tiger Intel Tiger, Intel Leopard with Xcode 2.5 and 3.0), there's now a difference between my Leopard machine which was upgraded from Tiger and a brand-new machine with Leopard installed?

Yes, it's a bug in the upgrade process.

How am I possibly supposed to know this?

You could have been aware of it by reading various Apple mailing lists and/or Apple-related web sites, but nobody expects you to know about all bugs in a particular Mac OS X version or its install process. That's the nature of bugs...


And what other "surprise" differences don't I know about?

You can always Google for "leopard upgrade issues" or similar.

Or at least, what do I have to do to see the man pages for the utilities I'm actually running?
