The installed nroff-manpage is formatted on Solaris with
  sh -c cd /opt/csw/man; nroff -u0 -Tlp -man /opt/csw/man/man3/ 
history.3 | col -x
which is not capable of processing the macro properly. If there is no  
reason
against it I would appreciate a lowest denominator set of nroff- 
operation
for maximum portability (including Solaris :-).
