In case the source file isn't corrupt, it really looks like a compiler
bug.  Other people have already successfully compiled groff 1.17.2
with gcc 3.0, so the problem might be relevant only for your
platform/OS.  Please check the gcc site whether there are known bugs
which could affect you.  If not, please send a bug report.
