There is a bug in the System V -mm macro packages in combination whith
"nroff -cm" when using a printer that can do italic.
Even if you use the -rU1 option to nroff the level-3 .H-macro will
underline all spaces. The .H-macro referes to \nU which cann't be
compacted as it is an absolute number regiser referens. -mm does work
but not -cm.
The fix is to replace with \\nU and recompact.
