Sorry for not checking this myself, but here's something
which might be worth testing:
GNU groff version 1.24.1 crashes on FreeBSD:
OpenSource/doc/op
rm -f op.ps
pic -C op.me | eqn -C -Tps | groff -Tps -mps -me > op.ps
troff:op.me:12005: error: ignoring control character change request; the
no-break control character is already "'"
Assertion failed: (assignment_worked), function
assign_control_character_request, file src/roff/troff/input.cpp, line 298.
groff: error: troff: Abort trap (core dumped)
grops:<standard input>: warning: no final 'x stop' command
xyz@ tested this on Linux: same groff version - no crash.
changing it to
.cc "
.
"cc
is a workaround for this groff/FreeBSD bug.
BTW: it is really simple to reproduce:
$ echo ".cc '" | groff > /dev/null
troff:<standard input>:1: error: ignoring control character change request;
the no-break control character is already "'"
Assertion failed: (assignment_worked), function
assign_control_character_request, file src/roff/troff/input.cpp, line 298.
