My first thought upon reading Bernd's report was "put an .ig XX at the end of 
tmac.man, and turn it off in .TH" but that would break the zillions of 
manpages out there that define their own macros at the beginning of the file.

I'm with Keith; the bug is in the bash manpage, not in the macros.

The ignore block works here too, which can be handy if you want to include 
some other notes to a future maintainer.
