If it's this one, I already pushed a fix days ago.

    [man]: Restore robustness to `EE` misuse.

    * tmac/an.tmac: Add `an*is-in-example` register to keep track state of
      within-exampleness.  Not doing so can cause a spurious use of `EE` to
      wrongly set the inter-paragraph distance to zero.

      (TH): Initialize register.

      (EX): Test register; if set, ignore macro call and, if `CHECKSTYLE`
      warnings are on, throw diagnostic.  Set register.

      (EE): Test register; if clear, ignore macro call and, if `CHECKSTYLE`
      warnings are on, throw diagnostic.  Clear register.

    * tmac/an-ext.tmac (EX, EE): Similar, using `mX` register.  Because AT&T
      troff had no `return` request, invert the sense of the tests and put
      the entire macro bodies inside conditionals.

    This regressed post-1.22.4.  Thanks to Ingo Schwarze for the report and
    a proposed patch.

Regards,
Branden
