19 I bet the man-page disappears when you re-emerge traceroute. According
20 to changelog, the patch I mentioned in a different message was
21 introduced without changing the revision number (it doesn't have to
22 because it just fixes a build problem). If you emerged traceroute-2.0.15
23 before the patch was applied, you got the man-page. Afterwards, it is lost.
