Follow-up Comment #3, bug #42675 (project groff):
Although this bug seems to be in any existing *roff implementation, it should
be fixed. At the moment the n(.$ register can't be used in a macro that may
be invoked by other users because it has a random value, which depends on if
the user writes
.A }
or
.A
.}
To make n(.$ meaningful again and make it fit it's documentation this bug
should be fixed. This breaks "compatibility" with traditional *roff but only
in cases where the input relies on side effects of this bug. Because of it's
random nature such cases are unlikely.
