i would like very much to use memorandum macros with nroff and
ptroff on a sun 4.  unfortunately, when i do, i get unusable page
numbers.  the page numbers come out with about 102 leading zero's
in spite of specifying .af P 1 before any page numbers are printed.
the versions of mm that i have been trying are 10.108 and 11.47.
i've noticed that the number register P has a size of 3 (using the
.pm call).

the files that i'm using work as expected with nroff and mm under
two other operating systems.  has anyone got any ideas on this one?
