From 6d909d223c46c8d1a1bbb0a92a1e2f944ddc651a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bjarni Ingi Gislason Date: Tue, 29 May 2012 12:33:50 +1200 Subject: [PATCH] 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.
