Subject: troff/nroff prematurely interrupts end-macro processing
Index: /usr/src/usr.bin/troff/n7.c 4.3BSD
Description:
(The following bug-report and fix are from D'Anne Thompson)
End-macro processing in troff/nroff/ditroff is being prematurely
interrupted. Only a single page of text was being ejected upon reaching the
end of input text. This was the case even when there was diverted material,
notably a floating keep, that should be floated to the top of another new
page. After investigation it was found that only the current page at the
time of reaching the end-macro was being completed, any additional pages that
might be due to the end-macro processing itself were being suppressed.
Repeat-By:
Run the following through troff/nroff using -me
.fo ''Footer''
.pp
A normal paragraph.

It should float to the top of the
following page.
This should be the second page output, if end-macro
processing is working correctly.

Fix:
