From "man ..." ("nroff ..."):
grotty:<standard input> (<standard input>):1763: character above first line
discarded
grotty:<standard input> (<standard input>):2688: character above first line
discarded
grotty:<standard input> (<standard input>):3286: character above first line
discarded
The culprit is "Dl 0 -xxxx" (vertical line) where "xxxx" is
one line (40 nroff units) to long. Or there is a bug in
"grotty". "nroff" or "tbl" makes an empty line where a page
break is.
