[bug #58736] -me macros: footnote breaks two-column output

[Dave]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #58736 (project groff):

[comment #3 comment #3:]
> If there's a repository of these versions of the -me package
> as they existed before forking, I can't find it.

Following Branden's advice, I posted a query
(http://minnie.tuhs.org/pipermail/tuhs/2020-September/022175.html) to TUHS and
got an almost immediate reply with a URL
(http://svnweb.freebsd.org/csrg/share/me/tmac.orig_me?view=log) to a
repository of -me versions 1.1 to 2.37.  (There is also a "version 8.1," but
it is identical to 2.37 other than a couple comments in the header.)

Version 2.31, the basis for groff's fork, can be found at
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/csrg/share/me/tmac.orig_me?revision=34394.  The
earliest recorded groff version of this file
(http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/tree/macros/tmac.e?id=351da0dcdf702cf243d26ffa998961bce2aa8653)
has substantial changes from this v2.31.  (This may be of academic interest,
but is probably not relevant to this bug, since comment #3 suggests the bug is
in historical -me code as far back as v2.14.)
