[Groff] groff under MacOS X

[joerg van den hoff]

hi,

with the last Mac  OS upgrade groff 1.18.1 was installed as part of the 
distribution. this binary does not work properly: for instance standard 
documents like the pic-manual are not formatted properly in some  places 
(at the same time "can't break line" warnings are issued here and these 
passages contain only one word per line in the formatted output).

the PROBLEMS file contains a remark to use "configure CXX=g++2 " to 
remove some unspecified problems under MacOS X. this indeed generates a 
binary for ( a source download of) 1.19 with does work ok (without this 
flag behaviour ist the same as for 1.18.1).

question: can apple be 'officially' notified that they compile groff 
incorrectly at the moment?

regards
joerg
