Since you went to the trouble of reproducing the issue,
it would be great if you could turn that into a non-regression test
(deroff has none so far, but creating a new Makefile would be
comparatively easy, you just need to massage this into a Makefile
target that doesn't error our when the bug is fixed)
That might even entice people into writing more non-regression
tests :)
Thank you.
