A/UX 2.0: "apropos dt"

"apropos dt" yields nine occurrences of the line "Mon Apr 23 xx:xx:xx PDT
1990". This is a minor annoyance, but why does it happen?

The repeated time-stamped "Mon Apr 23 xx:xx:xx PDT 1990" lines displayed with
the "apropos dt" command are caused by the /usr/lib/whatis database file. The
"apropos dt" displays any line matched with the "dt" string (not case
sensitive) from the /usr/lib/whatis file.  The workaround to this minor
annoyance is to remove these time stamp lines from the /usr/lib/whatis file.
