Follow-up Comment #3, bug #52526 (project groff):
Two points I forgot to mention.
First, the ordering of the output lines is observably different. I don't
regard this as a compatibility issue. .tm output goes to standard error and
normal nroff output to standard output, and they are interleaved onto the same
file descriptor by the shell. Ordering is therefore not reliable.
Secondly...hi, Dave!
[comment #1 comment #1:]
> Is this a manifestation of bug #45502?
I'm going to say no? According to what we see there, AT&T troff has an
extra-special syntax case where if there are no tokens (or spaces only?) after
the conditional expression of an .if or .ie request before a newline, then the
newline is ignored.
This is a hypothesis. I should fire SIMH back up and see. Or read the
V7/Heirloom source.
