Package: groff Version: 1.20.1-4 Severity: normal File: /usr/bin/pdfroff pdfroff produces duplicate pages:
lakeview ok % groff -me brass-fluorescence.mx | ps2pdf - - | pdftk - dump_data | grep NumberOfPages NumberOfPages: 1 lakeview ok % pdfroff -me brass-fluorescence.mx | pdftk - dump_data | grep NumberOfPages NumberOfPages: 2 The file in question, which is attached, is a one-page poem[0]. Using the former method correctly produces one page. Using pdfroff creates two pages, which AFAICT are identical. I'd like pdfroff not to produce duplicate output.

.ll 6.5i .uh "Closed Stacks" .au "brian m. carlson" .nf I walk in, the brass door slams behind me, resounding in this concrete tomb. The hum of the fluorescence is angry, a Mac boot chime threatening and discordant. The room is sterile; I wish for even the drip of water on this cold floor: the lines hint where the concrete was smoothed: imperfect, original, untouched. A lamp protrudes from the wall, illuminates the staircase sinking further into depths unknown. The handrail\(emsimple, metal, black\(em is the only nod to the needs of humanity. Downstairs, neatly organized, parchment sits row by row on metal shelves. The gentle swirls of ink lean down from pages peeking over, seeing how far it is to the pool of grey concrete. Quickly, I pick it up, carry it upstairs, read it: prevent its escape. .\" Why are we here? What's in here?
