Problem solved.  Purely my fault.  By accident (inattentiveness?),
I was re-enabling the footer trap one line *after* the spot where
it would normally be invoked.  The result was that groff kept on
processing the page since the trap had been already been passed.
Took me two days to spot that one.  Duh!
