Update of bug #68252 (group groff):
Summary: [troff] assertion failure in
`token::is_usable_as_delimiter()` when formatting Unix SVr2-era (1982) man
page => [troff] assertion failure in `token::is_usable_as_delimiter()` when
formatting Unix SVr2-era (1982/4) man page

Follow-up Comment #5:
Spawned bug #68256 off of this ticket. Even without the assertion failure,
GNU _troff_ doesn't correctly honor a control line `.bd S 3 3`, and hasn't
since at least _groff_ 1.22.3 (November 2014). Maybe not ever.
Also the fix for the assertion failure appears to be surprisingly deep and
old. Rather, I recently added the assertion itself, but the interpretation of
input appears as if it's been bogus for a very long time even in the
assertion's absence. More on that later.
