[Groff] Escape characters in -man output

[Meg McRoberts]

I'm getting escape characters in my -man output -- the 0m
stuff.  I googled and it isn't just me:

I'm running version 1.19 that came bundled with Mandrake 10.1.
I can send details but it looks like this is an old problem --
is there a fix and/or work-around (other than a sed script that
strips this stuff out of the file)?

Thanks much,
