Thanks for testing. I use stripped tmac files and "andoc.tmac" caused the bug in compatibility mode. There is a comment in the file about .\" Due to a bug in GNU troff it necessary to have a no-op line between .\" '.do' and '\*'. ^ missing is The fix is to change the '.' line before the '\\*(...' lines to, for example, .do nop\" DO NOT REMOVE the line, see an earlier comment N.B. The comment about the bug should also be in the general documentation.
