Re: groff_1.23.0-rc3 test and typo

Hi Dale,

I'm pleased to hear about your successful build!

One of FSF France's *BSD boxen came back up, so I was able to build on
OpenBSD 7.2 and things look good there too.

Unfortunately, the FreeBSD and NetBSD hosts are still unreachable.

Quite right.  I've applied this change and pushed it.

Not a surprise--Peter's stuff is solid and stable.  :)

Thank you for the report.
