Which troff version do you use?

Sorry, but I won't do that.  The value of .P is too weird, and it has
absolutely no connection with the setup of groff.  I suggest that you
modify troffrc to set .P there.  Then put this file into the
<prefix>/groff/site-tmac directory which is searched before
<prefix>/groff/<version>/tmac.

`site-tmac' is a new feature of groff 1.17 (to appear in a few days).
