   Where is the source? As I said, I downloaded a package. (In my case   
   an_0.95-3.2_amd64.deb for Ubuntu 12.04.) I checked the man page today   
   and saw:   
      
          AUTHORS   
      
          Richard Jones (richard@deep-thought.org)   
            - Coding and algorithm design.   
      
          Julian Assange (proff@suburbia.net)   
      
            - Algorithm design.   
      
   (a) That "AUTHORS" bit should be flush left, it looks the two ".TP"   
   lines in the manpage before the ".SH AUTHORS" line are the culprit.   
   Drop them and it formats correctly. .TP is intended to indicate an   
   indented paragraph, but .SH section headers should not be indented.   
      
   (b) Is it that *Julian Assange*?
