Follow-up Comment #3, bug #64229 (project groff):
"Infinite input causes infinite execution time and consumes infinite
resources" doesn't particularly surprise me. Do other command-line utilities
fare any better? Things like "cat" and "grep" have the luxury of being able
to emit output before all input has been read, but "yes abcdefghijklm | sort"
seemed happy to churn the CPU as long as I'd let it.
