Greetings,

While using using a locally built groff-1.22.3 on Solaris 10 & 11
(X86_32 & X86_64 / gcc 4.8.4 & gcc 4.9.2), I noticed that groff(1) can
not format some of its own manual pages, giving the error:

  "<filename>:<line>: error: end of file while defining macro `<name>'

The following simple command line loop, shows that this is not limited
to the groff.1 manual page, but that the EOF issues affect many
installed manual pages.

cd /pkgs/64-bit/release/groff-1.22.3/share/man
for manual in man*/*
do
`grog $manual` > /dev/null        
done
