I wish I could remember for sure what it was I requested the first time,
it was something I was actually trying to locate rather than a casual
test. Unfortunately several days have gone by, and either it was a
transient error or I misremember what I wanted. I thought I asked for
'ifname' and it now produces output, although it doesn't seem to have
the man page available and points to other man pages containing that term.

If I remember or get an error on something else I'll let you know, I
tried a number of things and none blew up this time. And if I have to
reboot I'll bring up the kernel I was using at that time (2.6.12-ck4)
just to see if there is any correlation there.
