Interesting.  I'd thought that was supposed to have been fixed in
-current.  There was (or apparently /is/) some problem with GCC
generating bad VAX code when it compiles groff.

Maybe I misunderstood the nature of the original problem and what's
required to fix it, but I thought getting a -current snapshot built
would've resolved it.
