	   With groff V1.05 I get fatal errors if I do the following:

   [... lots of happy groff code]
   .sp
   .in .5i
   .IP $lambda$
   [... more stuff]

	   Apparently you can't use an imbedded equation as the label
   for an in dented paragraph.

You can, but you must quote it (because the expansion of $lambda$
contains spaces.)

	   has this been fixed with V1.06?

Yes.

If you find a bug in groff, please report it as soon as possible:
don't just hope it will be fixed in the next release.
