Problem affects groff 1.22.3, 1.22.4, and 1.23.0.

Input:


$ cat yoyodyne.mm

is a new,
general-purpose,
stored-program electronic digital computer
manufactured by Digital Equipment Corporation.
At minicomputer prices
it provides addresses and data which are 32 bits wide;
the traditional minicomputer address space bound of 64K is gone.


Attaching exhibits of DWB 3.3 and _groff_ PostScript output.

I don't intend to mess around with the trademarked Death Star logo, but the
name of the firm specified in the document isn't showing up _at all_, and
that's a bug.

You will notice other cosmetic issues with the layout of the cover sheet
material.  I'm dealing with those without creating a bug report for them.
