2009-07-13 04:47:03 jimav description Binary package hint: groff Increasing the vertical spacing (e.g. for double-spaced text) using the -mm .S macro causes an internal error if there is too much text in a paragraph. For example, .S 12 24 should format text in 12-point font with 24 point vertical baseline separation. It works unless a paragraph is too big. Attached is a demo file. To see the problem: groff -mm -Tps (attached file) >/dev/null fatal error: input stack limit exceeded (probable infinite loop) Binary package hint: groff Increasing the vertical spacing (e.g. for double-spaced text) using the -mm .S macro causes an internal error if there is too much text in a paragraph.
