I am using DWB 1.0 ditroff and am having difficulty on lines that have
both line numbers (.nm 1 x 2) and change bars (.mc | ).  The change
bars do not line up correctly, as they do without the line numbers.  In
particular, on short lines the change bar is as much as 0.25 inches too
far left.  Does anyone have a fix or workaround for this?  Thanks.
