                           Groff Bug Report

GROFF VERSION:
groff-current (from about 24th February 2012)

MACHINE:
Laptop, i586, AMD K6

OS:
Debian GNU/Linux, linux 2.6.32-41

COMPILER:
g++ (Debian 4.4.5-8) 4.4.5

INPUT FILES:
.../groff-current/tmac/groff_trace.n

COMMAND LINE:
cd .../groff-current/tmac
../test-groff -Z -b -ww -man ./groff_trace.n > /dev/null

DESCRIPTION OF INCORRECT BEHAVIOUR:

.../groff-current/tmac/an-old.tmac:510: backtrace: macro `HP'
.../groff-current/tmac/an-ext.tmac:74: backtrace: macro `SY'
groff_trace.n:36: warning: missing closing delimiter
.../groff-current/tmac/an-old.tmac:510: backtrace: macro `HP'
.../groff-current/tmac/an-ext.tmac:74: backtrace: macro `SY'
groff_trace.n:36: warning: missing `)' (got newline)

  The argument, that the "HP" macro gets, is: \w'\fBgroff

SUGGESTED FIX [optional]:

  The value for the argument for the "HP" macro in the "SY"
macro does not have any effect on the indent.  Therefore no
difference is in the output between the current file and the
patched one (the output for the original shows "wh2500" for the
two spaces, the patched one "h2500").

  Other manuals in this directory use escaped spaces in the
argument for "SY".
