Follow-up Comment #1, bug #64061 (project groff):

[comment #0 original submission:]
> 2.  It uses the sequence '\n' in the replacement part of a sed
> 's' command.  This is non-standard and undefined on some seds.

I raised this as a side note in [http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58206#comment11
comment 11 of bug 58206], but once that bug's primary issue was addressed, I
didn't follow up on this point.  So I apologize for dropping the ball there.

Some of the email threads linked elsewhere in that bug report point out the
redundancy of the grep command, and offer other ways to skin that cat, such as
an awk equivalent of the sed (which may or may not be more portable).
