[Groff] problems with tbl underline |

Hi!
I have been using tbl and nroff in Unix SunOS5.8 to create an ASCII
table by doing:
tbl test.tbl | nroff | col -b > file.txt
However, for some unknown reason, some rows in test.tbl are not being
displayed in the ASCII table. I checked and the missing rows are the
ones directly above any "_" on a single line in the code (i.e. rows
directly above an underline). The ASCII table displays the underline
correctly, but I'm missing the previous row. If a add an empty line
before the "_", the problem is partly fixed, but I still don't get all
my rows.
I tried the same code using the tbl version that comes with groff 1.17.2
on Linux and it works perfectly =-) It's even nicer since the table
corners are '+' signs. Will the latest Unix version of groff and tbl
solve this problem?
Thanks, Michelle
