Details:

For example, erlang has many long .TH man pages.
---
% grep '^.TH'
/usr/share/man/man3erl/CosNotifyChannelAdmin_StructuredProxyPushSu
pplier.3erl
.TH CosNotifyChannelAdmin_StructuredProxyPushSupplier 3erl "cosNotification
1.1.
18" "Ericsson AB" "Erlang Module Definition"
---
If such a long .TH file is processed by groff, header and 
fooder are displayed by overlapping.
---
% grep '^.TH'
/usr/share/man/man3erl/CosNotifyChannelAdmin_StructuredProxyPushSu
pplier.3erl | gtroff -man -T ascii|grotty -c
CosNotifyChannelAdmin_SCosNotifyChannelAdmin_StructuredProxyPushSupplier(3erl)



Ericsson AB           
CosNotifyChannelAdmin_StructuredProxyPushSupplier(3erl)
---
I created a patch for an-old.tmac to be displayed by two lines 
if it is long.
---
% grep '^.TH'
/usr/share/man/man3erl/CosNotifyChannelAdmin_StructuredProxyPushSu
pplier.3erl | gtroff -man -T ascii|grotty -c
Erlang Module Definition
                      
CosNotifyChannelAdmin_StructuredProxyPushSupplier(3erl)


Ericsson AB                 cosNotification 1.1.18
                      
CosNotifyChannelAdmin_StructuredProxyPushSupplier(3erl)
---
It would be great if long .TH is handled by two lines like this.
