[Groff] Typesetting sqrt with geqn

[Gary E. RAFE, PhD]

Using v 1.17.2, consider the following:

.EQ
sqrt { x }
.EN

I'm finding that the "radicalex" character is offset to the right
of the radical sign by the width of the "radicalex" character when
no size changes are made to the radical sign.

Setting this "by-hand" seems to produce a correct result:

\(sr\h^G-\w'\[radicalex]'u^G\l'XXu\[radicalex]'

where XX is the length of the expression under the radical bar.

Can this be confirmed ?
Is there any way to get geqn to typeset $sqrt { x }$ correctly ?!

Many thanks.
