Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: groff
Increasing the vertical spacing (e.g. for double-spaced text) using the
-mm .S macro causes an internal error if there is too much text in a
paragraph. For example, .S 12 24 should format text in 12-point font
with 24 point vertical baseline separation. It works unless a paragraph
is too big.
Attached is a demo file. To see the problem:
groff -mm -Tps (attached file) >/dev/null
fatal error: input stack limit exceeded (probable infinite loop)
Using groff in Ubuntu 8.10
groff --version
GNU groff version 1.18.1
** Affects: groff (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
