SVR3.1 version of pg behaves strangely when pressented with a file where the
lines are exactly 81 characters long including the \n.  If your terminal is
set to autowrap you will see this behaviour.  If the terminal is not set to
autowrap then pg clearly fails to generate newlines so the document does not
print sensibly.

	This behaviour was first observed on a Intergraph 3050 workstation
running CLIX 3.1 which is the Intergraph Licensed version of AT&T SVR3.1.
