[Groff] Groff - weird error with line spacing

[Damian McGuckin]

Gurus,

My document, file 'oops' attached, uses

        .S 12 24

to get double line spacing.

The command

        groff -mm oops

bombs when going to the second page.

oops:48: fatal error: input stack limit exceeded (probable infinite loop)

Changing the above to

        .S 12 18

avoids the error but does not achieve my aim of double spacing.

Any ideas of where the problem lies?

I know this used to work years ago with the original 'troff'. But years 
ago is talking decades, mind you not as many decades as young Doug has 
used it for.
