ditroff dashed lines/brackets eqn problem

We are experiencing problems with a line that is supposed to present as solid,
coming out in a dashed mode. It is about 90% solid.

On our ditroff, the first three lines come out as solid lines, the way they 
should.  However, the fourth line comes out in the dashed manner, described
above.

This is important as eqn generates lines using the \l mechanism illustrated
by the fourth example.  These appear in fractions.  Additionally, large
brackets produced by eqn are also coming out in this dotted fashion.
Obviously, this dashed dottiness is a syndrome of sorts.

Any suggestions as to how we can correct this?

Thanks for any help you can provide; this snafu is interfering with the
work of several people trying to get out their dissertations.
