The "expand" option works correctly (as expected) on groff, but when using
Heirloom _with_ MM, it doesn't fully expand. I think it does without MM.
Here is a sample:
.ll 6.5i

I am doing: tbl test.mm |troff -mm |dpost >test.ps
You can see that the 2nd column of the table should extend to the end of
.ll but it doesn't. If you compare the output of groff to heirloom, the
problem is clear.
Thanks.
