Thanks!  I confirmed the current CVS code working fine.

Hmm, I tried to add `(' to CJKpostpunct class, but it did not help.

Groff adds a space between (non-punct) Japanese characters instead of
breaking the line.  The expected result would be something like:

or:

Perhaps assigning IGNORE_HCODE to whole CJK range is not perfectly
enough to control the line breaking rule.
