This is not a legitimate application of GNU _troff_.

Here are the files you're reading, assuming Git HEAD:


$ ls -1 tmac/h*
tmac/html-end.tmac
tmac/html.tmac
tmac/hyphen.cs
tmac/hyphen.den
tmac/hyphen.det
tmac/hyphen.en
tmac/hyphen.es
tmac/hyphen.fr
tmac/hyphen.it
tmac/hyphen.ru
tmac/hyphen.sv
tmac/hyphenex.cs
tmac/hyphenex.en
tmac/hyphenex.pl


So from the very outset, under groff's default configuration, you are reading
a macro file specific to the "html" output device when the selected output
device is "ps".

"ps" uses a much larger resolution than "html" does--I direct their DESC files
to your attention--and that is why a numeric overflow occurs.

The remainder of this grievance is a duplicate of bug #64301.

Closing as invalid.
