This is a minimal example that reflects my problem. I'm using a
fairly recent CVS version of groff on OSX 10.4.

The text in the first column should be centered, but is left-
justified. Displaying a PS version, you can also see that the two
cells using text blocks are higher than the one-liner cell. If the
one-liner was vertically centered, I could understand that, but it
obviously isn't.
The tbl(1) manpage says that text in cells is vertically centered
unless you use the T or D specifiers. That doesn't seem to be the
case here either.
Can anyone shed some light here?
