Update of bug #55124 (project groff):

                Severity:              3 - Normal => 2 - Minor              
                  Status:                    None => Fixed

Follow-up Comment #3:

[http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/commit/?id=9be6acf9 Commit
9be6acf9] fixed this, rewriting the offending sentence into: "A negative
@var{length} is valid, but an uncommon application:@: it prevents page
location traps from being sprung,@footnote{@xref{Traps}.}  and each output
line is placed on a new page."  This addresses both issues I identified with
the original wording.

Marking as Fixed, but not closing, as Branden will want to update the
fixed-bug counts in ANNOUNCE, so I'll give him the satisfaction of closing the
bug once that's done.
