This must be a problem with evince then.  Here is the PS output of
your document (omitting the preamble) as processed with the current
CVS version of groff (and I doubt that this has changed recently):

  /F0 10/address@hidden SF

As you can see, no bars are created.  Maybe those bars indicate the
left and right side of the paper, similar to the flashing lines in gv?
