Just an update to that "success".  My native re-build of -current on 
my box is getting a seg-fault when doing:

GROFF_COMMAND_PREFIX='';  export GROFF_COMMAND_PREFIX;  GROFF_BIN_PATH=`echo /u3/build11/src/tools/groff/build/src/roff/groff  /u3/build11/src/tools/groff/build/src/roff/troff  /u3/build11/src/tools/groff/build/src/preproc/pic  /u3/build11/src/tools/groff/build/src/preproc/eqn  /u3/build11/src/tools/groff/build/src/preproc/tbl  /u3/build11/src/tools/groff/build/src/preproc/grn  /u3/build11/src/tools/groff/build/src/preproc/refer  /u3/build11/src/tools/groff/build/src/preproc/soelim  /u3/build11/src/tools/groff/build/src/preproc/html  /u3/build11/src/tools/groff/build/src/devices/grops  /u3/build11/src/tools/groff/build/src/devices/grohtml | sed -e 's|  *|:|g'`;  export GROFF_BIN_PATH;  sed -e "s;@VERSION@;1.19;" /u3/build11/src/gnu/dist/groff/doc/pic.ms  | /u3/build11/src/tools/groff/build/src/roff/groff/groff -M/u3/build11/src/tools/groff/build/tmac -M/u3/build11/src/gnu/dist/groff/tmac -F/u3/build11/src/tools/groff/build/font -F/u3/build11/src/gnu/dist/groff/font -Upet -ww

It's repeatable, but I havn't had a chance to figure out what's going 
wrong.. :(
