man does not work inside kungfuse tree

[mithodin]

When trying to open a manpage from inside a mounted kungfuse instance, man gives this error:
man: can't change directory to '/home/lucas/code/fusegame/test': Permission denied man: command exited with status 255: sed -e '/^[[:space:]]*$/{ N; /^[[:space:]]*\n[[:space:]]*$/D; }' | (cd /home/lucas/code/fusegame/test && LESS=-ix8RmPm Manual page man(1) ?ltline %lt?L/%L.:byte %bB?s/%s..?e (END):?pB %pB\%.. (press h for help or q to quit)$PM Manual page man(1) ?ltline %lt?L/%L.:byte %bB?s/%s..?e (END):?pB %pB\%.. (press h for help or q to quit)$-R -M --shift 5 MAN_PN=man(1) manpager)
However, other software like info or vim work. Since permissions are not checked anyways, I don't see how the permission to enter the current working directory could be denied. What is going wrong here?

strace -f -s 4096 man man -o /tmp/stracelog
and then gist /tmp/stracelog?

I'm not sure what's happening either :)

Well... I ran the command, and if I do it this way, man works.
Here's the gist: https://gist.github.com/mithodin/cc05c838f099dfe91bec2025be05f5ea

fascinating. what distro are you on? what shell are you using? if you run which man what does it point to? any aliases for man? (type alias)

always fun when the tools to debug an issue partially resolve it....

I'm using funtoo and zsh (but the same thing happens in bash). which man is /usr/bin/man, and man is version 2.7.6.1. There are no aliases.

Huh, I've just tried the same on Mint and it works fine. man 2.7.5 there.
