suffixes.7: srcfix: Fix warnings from "grotty" 

man(1) on the present page yields errors:

    grotty: ... character above first line discarded

The culprit is "Dl 0 -xxxx" (vertical line) where "xxxx" is
one line (40 nroff units) too long.  Or there is a bug in
"grotty".  "nroff" or "tbl" makes an empty line where a page is.

The patch fixes the problem by setting the page length to
a large value.
