ms changes RP from its normal definition to triggering this error when a

I got it down to this test case by looking at the commands being run
with -VV.
$ pre-grohtml troff -ms -Thtml <<<'.RP no' >/dev/null
stdin:1: macro error: RP is not allowed after the first page has started
pre-grohtml runs troff a couple of times, according to strace(1), and I
could simplify the first of those to
$ troff -ms -rps4html=1 -Tps <<<'.RP no' >/dev/null
<standard input>:1: macro error: RP is not allowed after the first page has
started
Removing the `-rps4html=1' stops the error. Putting it back along with
`-mtrace' before the -ms showed it was reading www.tmac before the
top-of-page trap was triggered. At the end of that is
.if r ps4html .nop \O[0]
Commenting that out stops the error. Gaius?
I suspect the error can be ignored the two times it appears for you. Do
you otherwise find the output is OK?
Cheers, Ralph.
