	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.

	has this been fixed with V1.06?

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

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.
