I believe this is fixed in Perl 5.8, currently in experimental, which I believe includes the latest podlators. All of this size manipulation code, and the C++ macro, have been removed in podlators 5.00, which drops all of the troff-specific guesswork formatting. It has proven much to difficult to maintain and has created lots problems for fairly minor formatting benefits. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
