I ran into this on a sunos4 system. Seems that Sunos4's troff is pickier
about argument/flag ordering than ptroff expects it to be. The following
changes worked for me (Since you're using a PS-810, I didn't bother to
edit out an unrelated change that produces better page centering on my
PS-810):
*** ptroff Thu May 14 01:49:35 1987
