thanks

Hello Helge,

I think I fixed this bug upstream, and it will be part of the next release,
later this month. I did not implement a full support for \c since it's
difficult in the current code base, but at least the groff.1 page proceeds. 

If you have other failures from other pages, please tell me so that I can check
whether my fix is enough even before the release.

Thanks for your help and patience,
Mt
