I inherited this code from someone else; I'm leaving it as-is.

Hi,

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/bash.git/tree/support/man2html.c?h=devel&id=f886015aac5b078cfe7df5177359866935f6e6f2#n2399

in the file man2html.c, line n2399:
case V('e', 'c'):
    c = c + j;
    if (*c != '\n') {
        escapesym = *c;
    } else
        escapesym = '\\';
        break;
        c = skip_till_newline(c);

function skip_till_newline is never called.
