[Bug 1072876] [NEW] man page split.1.gz is garbled in part

[Kevin O'Gorman]

Public bug reported:

the man page for split(1), included in the coreutils package, has a
section that seems to have been mangled, possibly in translation from
info.  This section begins with "CHUNKS  may be: N" and extends to the
following "AUTHORS" section.  What should be a list is all strung out on
one line and difficult to decipher.
