Hi,

Here is a patch for something that was bothering me in the man page
rendering.  How to reproduce it:

            - emacs -Q
            - M-x load-theme <RET> modus-operandi <RET> ;; for a more
                                                        ;; clear distinction
                                                        ;; of faces
            - M-x man <RET> ssh_config <RET>

See that the underscore '_' in "ssh_config" (in the line after NAME) is
rendered with the Man-underline while its surrounding use
Man-overstrike.  This patch tries to fix those discrepancies.
