That's nice, but not fully right.

Both ps are not normal Postscript, but `groff -Z name.g | file -' reports:
  /dev/stdin: ditroff output text for PostScript

And the groff man page says on -Z:

        -Z     Do not postprocess the output of troff that is  normally  called
              automatically by groff.  This will print the intermediate output
              to standard output; see groff_out(5).

The real intermediate output (according to groff_out(5)) seems to be only 
available after -TX* in the gxditview viewer, but not as a text output.

Either -Z must be changed to produce again the good intermediate output without 
the bad ps part or a whole lot of documentation must be changed.
