Hi groff@,
Would any mdoc folks like to have a look at this? Details differ in
1.22.4 and this patch doesn't quite apply directly, but much the same
problem exists; page numbers are printed on the left of odd-numbered
pages and on the right of even-numbered pages, when one would normally
expect the opposite.
Thanks,

Dear Maintainer,
I used the following to export man pages (ie ssh_config, written in
mdoc-style) to a pdf file for double-sided printing:
zcat /usr/share/man/man5/ssh_config.5.gz |groff -man -rD1 -Tps - |ps2pdf
- ssh_config.pdf
The page numbers in the resulting pdf file are placed incorrectly.
This does not affect documents written using the "man" format, for example
it will not affect the man.pdf resulting from the following:
zcat /usr/share/man/man1/man.1.gz |groff -man -rD1 -Tps - |ps2pdf
- man.pdf
