What version of FreeBSD are you seeing this error in?
Comment 3 Walter Schwarzenfeld 2018-01-05 17:57:22 UTC 
10.4-Release amd64.
Comment 4 Walter Schwarzenfeld 2018-01-05 18:42:40 UTC 
On the pure commandline and in the DE (fvwm-crystal)
my locale:
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8"

Comment 5 Walter Schwarzenfeld 2018-01-05 18:56:17 UTC 
If it's right, what the link shows:

I have changed it to:

diff procstat.1.new procstat.1.old
310c310
< .It UD.el .nop	UD.
---
> .It UD\?
315c315
< .It .el .nop .
---
> .It \?

and it seems it shows right.
Comment 6 Brooks Davis freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-01-05 23:05:22 UTC 
Ah, this is a compatibility issue with groff.  Your proposed change breaks the output as the intended output is to display a '?' where the \?s occur.  mandoc (used in 11+) does this.  I don't know if this is possible in groff.
Comment 7 Brooks Davis freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-01-05 23:38:08 UTC 
Ah, it looks like the '\'s are unneeded and don't work in groff.  I'll fix this.

  Don't escape '?'s in protocol output.

  This isn't required by mandoc and is nonfunctional in groff.
