`.IP' is not interpreted correctly because of the preceding `\fP' on a
separated line (see test.1).

-------------------------------test.1--------------------------------
.TH "LINUX" "1" 
.PP
Test \fBbold
\fP
.PP 
Paragraph 
---------------------------------------------------------------------

The following two examples produce correct output.

-------------------------------test.2--------------------------------
.TH "LINUX" "1" 
.PP
Test \fBbold\fP
.PP
Paragraph
---------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------test.3--------------------------------
.TH "LINUX" "1" 
.PP
Test 
.ft B
bold
.ft
.PP
Paragraph 
---------------------------------------------------------------------


`\fB' and `\fP' are used by the userinput environment (and various
others) to produce bold text. According to the groff manual the `\f'
escape is only used for changing fonts in the middle of words. So the
`.ft' request seems to be the far better way for changing fonts in the
userinput environment. I'll try to fix this with the next docbook-to-man
upload. However, I'm not sure whether this is still also a groff issue.
