I'm getting the error messages, plus an extra one:
        warning: number register `3tbw3,14' not defined

But the table prints with thicker lines. I changed \D't 500'
to \D't 1500' to see a difference. Also, I think the "linesize(2)"
option might be confusing things... or at least not helping.

I was able to get the same result, without the warnings, by
removing the \D escapes from inside the table:

.LP
\D't 500'
.TS H

Unless you want different line sizes inside the table, that
should fix things.
