I've now had a quick look at the Postscript output generated by:
groff -ww -mspdf pdf$$.cmp pdfmark.ms | less
(pdf$$.cmp is the final composite reference map for pdfmark.ms, captured
from a prior run of `GROFF_TMPDIR=. pdfroff --keep ...'; `$$' represents,
and must of course be replaced by, the numeric PID of that process).
While the /PAGELABEL marks are present, not one of them is correctly
placed on the page to which it refers. I've no idea what `HD' is doing
here; based on pure conjecture, I suspect some diversion interplay. This
will bear further investigation, but I don't have time to follow it up,
just now.
Regards,
Keith.
