    Fix SMALLCAPS indenting slightly when called after PP.
    Update BUGS and version number in html docs.


It is _possible_ that the compiler change provoked this error, but it would be
really interesting to see that root-caused.  Any change to a C compiler with
an impact on macro parsing of *roff input would have a long reach that would,
I surmise, affect a lot of other software.

Bjarni has a certain notoriety for running his own private forks of tools, and
until we can get this problem reproduced by someone else, or by him using a
clean environment with a "make dist" archive, for instance, I don't think
there is much more that can be done about it.

I will add that the groff repository was quiescent between 19 November and 28
November 2020.
