Yep.  Tables should be re-indented.

This is a bug in the tbl macros: Page breaks within tables shouldn't
result in empty lines but ignored completely for TTYs if there aren't
traps.  For example, processing

  .sp 64
  .TS
  l.
  test
  test
  .TE

with

  groff -t -Tascii

gives

  test

  test

(omitting the empty lines before and after).  However, if you say

  .sp 64
  test
  .br
  test
  .br

you get

  test
  test

Any taker to analyze and/or fix this?
