Smack! :-) You're right!

With .m4 = -3v it works! Anyway...

Anyway something strange happens: if I choose m4 = -3v
everything is ok for every value of m3 (-Nv ... -2v -1v default
or positive) but if I choose m4 = -2v or -1v groff has a fatal
error for every negative value of m3 tested (-2v -1v) but not
for default or positive values. Error is this one:

:159: fatal error: input stack limit exceeded (probable infinite loop)

For m4 = -4v you already know that it starts a new column on a
new page after second page...
