Hi Miklos,
Please reply to the list, not just me. It'll help others that come
searching the archives later.

No, it'll read the empty line supplied by echo(1) as input.

That groff, and none of the processes it created, e.g. grops, never
attempted to create any files. A bit odd. Perhaps some earlier check
is failing. Can you do
echo | strace -f -o strace.out groff >/dev/null
and mail, just me this time and not the list, yes, I am being
contradictory, :-) the strace.out file it creates.
Cheers,
Ralph.
