well, groff_char is a manpage from the groff project itself and I would

maybe
I will try to ask at the groff mailing list what's going on here.
tbl is part of / distributed with groff. And last I checked, Apple (and
the
*BSDs in general) was shipping a *really ancient* groff, probably because
of license concerns.
that's true. it is GNU groff version 1.19.2
Copyright (C) 2004
and (the old) `tbl' is complaining about an unknown directive in the (new)
groff_char manpage. so that's probably the reason for the trouble.
