This old bug just tripped me. It appears trivial to fix with this
patch. I don't know roff, but this seems to have the right effect, and
you notice the tip-off "bv" ("bar vertical", "box vertical"?). Someone
who knows roff could tell if this is the "right" fix (is tchrist still
active?), but this change seems harmless.
