Does not the current behavior agree with the groff_mm manpage, which states for .DS that: `rindent shortens the line length by that amount. If you don't pass the `rindent' as the third parame- ter, you get the same line length, but indented to the right. If it is not the intended behavior, then it is a very long-standing bug in Groff's implemen- tation of MM that I have taken for granted more than ten years. I think I can fix it if you can't once I am sure it *is* a bug.
