[bug #44708] error: end of file while defining macro - groff-1.22.3 - own installed manual pages

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #44708 (project groff):

Follow up: Long macro names seems to be the cause of the error.

A little looking into the errors suggests that the files with problems
are the exact same set as the files using .de <string>, where string
is greater than 2 characters long. This could either be a code
regression or a manual page regression, I know that macros typically
have 2 character names, but is that a hard rule? (unknown). The error
message is suggesting it is.
