I think I know what is causing your problem.

The main symptom is a zillion leading zeros, or other characters,
in front of the page numbers. The problem is caused by bad parameters to
several *.af* commands (assigns format to a register). 

The two registers getting screwed up are "P" (the page number register) and
";P". To work around the problem you need to make changes in two places ---
in the macros ".TP" and ")b". Replace the lines ".af ;P \\gP" with
".af ;P 1", and ".af P \\g(;P" with ".af P 1". This will force the page
number register to use the arabic numbering sequence.
