Problem with tmacdir expansion

[Klaus Singvogel]

GROFF VERSION: 1.16.1
MACHINE: "typical" PC-Server: 2x Pentium III 800 Mhz, 2 GB RAM, 2x16 GB HD
OS: Linux 2.4.0-test11final2 
COMPILER: gcc-2.95.2
INPUT FILES: groff-1.16.1/src/include/defs.h
COMMAND LINE: (it's more a build/compile problem)
make 'tmacpath=.:$(tmacdir):/usr/share/tmac'
touch /usr/share/tmac/tmac.xxx
strace -s 512 -f -F -o /tmp/groff-1.16.1/groff.trc 
groff-1.16.1/src/roff/groff/groff -mxxx groff-1.16.1/src/roff/groff/groff.man
grep xxx /tmp/groff-1.16.1/groff.trc

DESCRIPTION OF INCORRECT BEHAVIOUR:
The search path of macros was expanded with the make call (see above),
but the test shows that it expand. If I look into file
        groff-1.16.1/src/include/defs.h  (attached)
then I see the line
        #define MACROPATH ".:/usr/share/groff/tmac:/usr/share/tmac"
Even more, if I call groff with
        env GROFF_TMAC_PATH='.:/usr/share/groff/tmac:/usr/share/tmac'
then I see the open(2) of file /usr/share/tmac/tmac.xxx -- Very strange
behaviour.


SUGGESTED FIX [optional]:
I'm working on it and sent ASAP I know more. But maybe you already have one?


Regards,
        Klaus.
