I'm running groff 1.19.1 and ps2pdf from gnu-ghostscript 7.07 to produce
pdf files all the time.  Both packages were compiled out of NetBSD's
pkgsrc system (pkgsrc-2005Q1).

I just updated my pkgsrc to 2005Q2, but I haven't started updating pkgs
yet, I do see that there's a newer version of gnu-ghostscript (8.15) and
a NetBSD patch-level newer on groff (1.19nb3 vs nb2).
