I assume "their reply" means Werner Lemberg's message here:

It's a problem related to the groff source code, and it's not something Autoconf 
can fix.  The attached patch might fix it.  I haven't tested this patch, as I 
stopped using csh over 35 years ago and never want to go back.  I think groff 
would be better off if it didn't worry about csh at all.
