Well, I probably would have encountered that segfault as well, but for 
the fact that we patch Groff with Debian's 1.18.1.1-12.diff which 
happened to fix this up in the same way as 1.18.1.4 does! 
Unfortunately, the patch was described as just adding nippon and ascii8 
devices to Groff - I didn't catch the other smaller fixups that were in 
there.

After removing that fix and the gcc-4.1.x fix, there's still a couple of 
hunks in it that look unrelated (to my completely novice eye) to the 
Nippon/Ascii8 device stuff.  Unfortunately, I can't find a broken out 
patchset that describes all the changes that are in there.  I'm thinking 
specifically of the creation of temporary directories in eqn2graph.sh 
and pic2graph.sh.

Would you mind taking a look at 
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~matthew/patches/groff-1.18.1.4-debian_fixes-1.patch 
(379KB!) to see if there's anything there you could merge upstream?

Thanks,

Matt.
