I've been having another issue, whatever man page I try to open I get a

   /system/bin/sh: No such file or directory

error message, because

  (connection-local-value shell-file-name) => "/system/bin/sh"

I haven't reported it as a bug yet, because I cannot reproduce it in
emacs -Q, and I haven't found any useful information to help debugging
the issue.

Perhaps you have some ideas that could help me prepare a bug report?
