Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

"man gcc" with

MAN_KEEP_STDERR=yes
MANOPT=--encoding=latin1 --no-hyphenation --warnings=w --no-justification
MANWIDTH=80

   * What was the outcome of this action?

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

  No warnings

  The escape '\s0' does not get the right former size if another '\s0' comes
after it (like '\s-1...\s-2...\s0...\s0').

  The string '\*(C+' gets resized in the manual for "gcc" in some lines.
  Each use of this string gets the previous size smaller, the warning is not
issued until the size is down to less than 1 point.

  And then change all the '\s0' into the correct escape (\s-1 ... \s0)
