  Concerning the warning "cannot adjust line".

  It is caused by "troff" meddling with the line adjustment in at least
text block columns ( T{...T} ).

  Happens when the adjustment mode is 'b' (adjust to both margins),
which is the default mode.

  Temporary workaround is to put '.ad l' in front of the table,
and restore the adjustment mode after the table,
if needed.

  A permanent solution is to add '.na' (no line adjustment) to the
'.TS' macro (bug #59798) and
'.ad' (restore line adjustment) to the '.TE' macro (bug #59795).

  You can test the correctness of this by putting '.ad c' or
'.ad r' in front of the table to see the effect of it.
