            Bug ID: 223515
           Summary: troff crashes with Signal 6 (core dumped)
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: gnu
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: wosch at FreeBSD.org

I tried to find out how much time we need to render a manual page, and looked
for the largest manpage. I found in the ports collection the salt(7) manpage
from the saltstack (https://saltstack.com/)

When I run the man command I noticed that groff crashes with signal 6.

How to repeat:

$ fetch https://www.freebsd.org/~wosch/tmp/salt.7.gz
$ zcat salt.7.gz | groff >/dev/null; echo $?
