Details:
Olle Lögdahl reported an issue with tbl and .nm to the groff development
list.
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2020-11/msg00103.html
The attached file demonstrates that tbl re-enables line numbering when it
should not.
"...the roff that GNU tbl emits uses .nm itself. I begin to wonder if there
is an environment problem. Apparently using .nm yourself creates a latent
issue that is awakened by a subsequent table."
See attachment.
Problem exists in groff 1.22.4 and I suspect is much older than that.
