I can't repeat this.  For me it works just fine.  Are you sure that
you are using the right groff version?  Try the `-ww' command line
option for groff to check whether there are any warnings.  I suspect
that you are accessing an `an-old.tmac' version which doesn't include
`an-ext.tmac' (which in turn holds the definition of the `.SY'
extension).
