I should have put a ".ps" extension on that.

I have installed it:

  ~/ % command -v groff
  /home/mojo/.local/bin/groff
  
The only groff related environment variable I have is:

  ~/ % env | grep -i groff
  GROFF_FONT_PATH=/home/mojo/.groff/fonts

> $ ASAN_OPTIONS="detect_leaks=0" ./test-groff -e -p -t -ms doc/ms.ms | okular

Yes, that also works for me. Strange.

Deri: I tried your command and it still fails.

Regards,
Morten
