Re: Groff bug: echo foo | groff -Pbar

[hackerb9]

I think there may be a race condition caused by the groff pipeline. Just to
be sure, please try

    echo foo  |  troff >&-

My earlier command was causing troff to dump core when its stdout was
closed (by grops exiting) before it finished writing.
