Command used:
$ groff -k -ms -Tpdf doc.ms > doc.pdf

When compiling with v1.22.4:
- Text after `.sp 4i` is 4 inches below

When compiling with v1.23.0:
- `.sp 4i` is ignored?

doc.ms:

```
.CD
Centered text
.DE
.sp 4i
This should be 4 inches lower on the page
```

I used this approach for centering since it is included in the groff_ms
manual.

This is how the output PDFs look: https://0x0.st/Hg4Z.png
