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
