recent release of v10 also pertain to t

(For those on the TUHS list wondering about context, here it is. I
"ported" the document in the Subject line to groff and re-typeset it,
discovering some spacing nits in groff and, apparently, a bug in AT&T
troff as well--one equation[1] in the sources not appearing in published
versions has risen

Hi folks,
