I wouldn't delay the 1.24.0 release for this, because

* It's an absurd, unrealistic input.
* Complete handling of such inputs would take several weeks. When I did input
fuzzing on the 'xgettext' program, it took me two weeks to fix the various
findings. And for groff, Ingo Schwarze estimates it to be "at least a month of
full-time work", see

* You have 15 pages of NEWS accumulated for this release. Get the new features
out to the users!
