Follow-up Comment #15, bug #63581 (project groff): Gene, I wonder if one thing that might help you with what you're trying to achieve is that, instead of using nroff output, you use groff output with the "-a" option? This will still send output to the terminal, but it won't use the nroff output driver (grotty), which seems to be one of the things necessary to trigger this bug. "-a" output is not as attractive for human readers, but if I'm understanding your use case correctly, users never see groff's output; it's merely piped through another tool to get a word count.
