[groff] 01/02: Remove unnecessary randomness from example output

[Colin Watson]

cjwatson pushed a commit to branch master
in repository groff.

commit 3b4b85baa3e2a252a6480b3cfb9cf984eff1b71a
Author: Colin Watson <address@hidden>
Date:   Sun Mar 11 22:49:52 2018 +0000

    Remove unnecessary randomness from example output
    
    The hdtbl examples don't need good randomness, as they're only
    example output; removing the process ID from consideration allows
    better integration with reproducible builds.
    
    * contrib/hdtbl/examples/common.roff (random-s1): Remove process ID.
