Description superboy 2000-01-10 23:20:03 UTC

Simple enough: 3.4 ships with groff 1.11.  This lacks a y2k fix purportedly in more recent versions.  In short, the date turns up as 1900. :P

Fix: 

Upgrade.  I installed the current version, groff 1.15, and it works (well, it gets the date right, at any rate).
How-To-Repeat: Reference the builtin register \*(td, which should have today's date.

State Changed
From-To: open->suspended

It is put on suspended because I imported it in CURRENT and want the 
PR to stick around for some time before it gets MFC'd.

Responsible Changed
From-To: freebsd-bugs->asmodai

I imported the new groff, so I am probably responsible for the MFC 
in the near future.
