Heh, I just installed three virtual machines: debian stable, testing, 
and unstable.  Guess what?  None of them reproduce the issue.

This is very weird.  AFAIR, the only difference that I have compared to 
a clean Sid install, is that I have groff(1) from source, but you also 
have it.  What else can I have that may be doing this weird thing?

Cheers,

Alex
