As error test I still use the broken bash man page with its error on page 54.

`groff -X' shows the error.  But `groff -Z|gxditview -' also generates the same 
error.  `groff -TX*', on the other hand, is different and avoids the error.

That seems curious to me.  `-X' is said to produce PS output, while `-Z' 
generates just the intermediate output.  So `-Z' should look more like `-TX*' 
than `-X'.

What exactly is going on with -X, -Z, and -TX*?
