Description mori 1999-09-23 12:20:00 UTC 
I enter command such as "man -t ppp | lpr" to get hardcopy.
Then, my printer outputs empty page as 1st page. (exactly, the page
has footer only)  Such case is happened some other man pages,
which has field ".Os FreeBSD", ie.  adduser(8), moused(8)... etc.

Fix: apply this patch to "/usr/share/tmac/mdoc/doc-common"
How-To-Repeat: 
In system that /usr/share/tmac/mdoc/doc-common is newer than
'1.13 Thu Feb 18 16:54:24 JST 1999 UTC by fenner',
enter command such as "man -t adduser".
Comment 1 Bill Fenner 1999-09-23 17:16:59 UTC 
Oops, that's pretty nasty.  I can't say that I completely understand
groff's behavior in this case, but I have a patch that I like better;
it retains the elimination of the duplication of "FreeBSD" and the
version numbers.  Would you mind trying this one and seeing if it
works for you?

I'm sure Mike will want to have a look at this one.
