[bug #65962] [troff] want stack limit reduced to <=100

[Dave]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #65962 (group groff):

This bug report does highlight one bit of inaccurate wording in the manual,
though.

[comment #1 comment #1:]

In fact, you can also lower the limit.

$ cat slimit.roff
.de infinitely-recurse
\\n+[count]
.br
.infinitely-recurse
..
.nr count 0 1
.nr slimit 10
.infinitely-recurse
$ nroff slimit.roff | cat -s
troff:slimit:8: fatal error: input stack limit exceeded (probable infinite
loop)
