I'm reluctant to update the groff package in SuSE Linux for the same
reasons.

By the way, the debian-multibyte patch

http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/groff/groff_1.18.1.1-1.diff.gz

contains a small problem which makes the latest versions of gcc
complain ("random data returned from non-void function").  I "fixed"
it with the following small patch:

diff -ru groff-1.18.1.1.orig/src/xditview/lex.c
