It seems likely this has to do with teaching groff to use ANSI
I also use this line for testing man page edits. It will be a very
sad thing if it's been broken in 9.0.

The proper way to do this atm is 'man ./foo.1'. I had the same set of
commands under the fingers as well, but doing it the new way has many
