Do you have a copy of the document available somewhere? In order to try
to reproduce the issue.

I just created a PS using groff from a man page, but it works as

Nevertheless, if the problem could be reproduced with a newer version,
maybe a patch could be back ported, if not here, at least by the Solaris
