[https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2026-01/msg00007.html Dave reported
a problem with the `ab` request to the _groff_ discussion list.]
When undertaking to reproduce it, I ran _groff_ interactively, and entered the
line `.ab`.
To my surprise, the formatter did not exit immediately.
I'll bet this is the same issue he saw, and I have an idea what I did wrong.
