It seems that no matter what macros we use, floated tbl tables causes
ditroff to blow up. The same input to nroff and old troff (vtroff) does
not. The same table not floated works fine on ditroff, nroff, and old
troff. Thus, it seems that putting the output of tbl into a diversion
causes ditroff to react strangely. What happens is that all but one of
the horizontal lines gets lost.

Has anyone else noted and solved the same problem.
Thanks Dan
