--- Comment #11 from Ingo Schwarze <schwarze@usta.de> ---
I believe  https://cvsweb.bsd.lv/mandoc/term_ps.c revision 1.95  fixes this
issue.

Sorry for the disruption.  The patch term.c rev. 1.292 that you already merged
into FreeBSD was quite a major reorganization, and it may take a bit of time to
get the dust settled, especially in PostScript and PDF output where it appears
i slightly underestimated the consequences.  All the same, i counsel against
reverting anything because trying to revert such a major change that touched
many files would be likely to cause instability, too, and would make it harder
for us to coordinate.  While you can selectively merge small, additional
patches to fix issues affecting you with little effort and risk, selectively
reverting a massive reorganization would not look like a good option,
especially since you have already started merging some further development on
top of it, causing you to potentially run into both physical and logical
conflicts, unless you understand very precisely what the code is doing and are
very careful about what you can or cannot merge after reverting the reorg.

I think i'm seeing one additional issue with TERMP_NOBREAK handling in
term_ps.c that i need to investigate, but i first wanted to get this hotfix out
of the way, such that you can easily pick it up if you want to.
