[bug #62051] [man] ultra-long paragraph tags produce adjustment warnings

[G. Branden Robinson]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #62051 (project groff):

Oh, I forgot to supply an exhibit of the bad behavior of groff 1.22.4.

Incidentally, I noticed this because the GNU Automake "distcheck" target does
a build as part of your build, to test your distribution tar archive.  It does
this in a remote subdirectory and supplies the "configure" script with
directory names as long as your arm.  I was seeing warnings in the distcheck
build that never appeared in a normal build, and, concerned, I looked into
why.


$ nroff -man ./EXPERIMENTS/cannot-adjust.man 
troff: ./EXPERIMENTS/cannot-adjust.man:5: warning [p 1, 0.7i, div 'an-div',
0.0i]: cannot adjust line
