Sorry, it's Werner.

My aging brain has a tendency to hash-collide Werner Lemberg and BSD kernel dude and Unix historian Warner Losh.  Both cool guys, but not the same guy.

Is there anything that should prevent this patch from being applied?  It solves a legitimate problem that results in illegible output, and it has caused no problems that I've noticed since first applying it in 2011.

I've attached it to this bug report, tweaked slightly so that it will apply to the latest tmac/e.tmac-u.

The original bug report is at http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-groff/2011-02/msg00004.html.

Werner Lemberg supplied a patch in the next message, and noted later (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-groff/2013-09/msg00003.html) that this patch is only a workaround.  The patch, however, does solve the problem, and has been in place for three years on my system with no observable ill side effects.
