The background color of the tabl

Is there a shaping method which provides optimal spacing whilst using traps?
When piping to gv:
groff -mm oops|gv -
The second page throws PostScript errors, the primary being "undefined in BP".
Trying with output to a file:
groff -mm oops>oops.ps
Produces a properly formatted second page.

to Sendmail's smrsh. Instead of calling .sy, one could could call .grsh and
utilise a site dependent, limited set of executables in a resonably safe
environment.
