I had problems with big eqn equations: eqn (-ms, BSD4.3) fails
to check whether there is room on the page, and large matrices
often fall off the page.
A simpleminded solution seems to be enclosing the formula in .KS/.KE
macros, but that reveals another bug in the .EQ/.EN macros: the half
line white space before the equation is lost as a result.
[This is caused by the fact that the undefined number register PE
and the number register .d compare equal (both are 0) at the start
of a diversion.]
The right solution is to add a .ne line to the .EN macro.
In my version of tmac.s this macro now starts off as follows:
.de EN \" end of a displayed equation
.br
.di
.rm EZ
.nr ZN \\n(dn
.if \\n(ZN>0 .if \\n(YE=0 .LP
.ne \\n(ZNu
.if \\n(ZN=0 .if !"\\*(EL"" .nr ZN 1
.if t .if \\n(ZN>0 .if \\n(PE>0 .if !\\n(.d=\\n(PE .sp .5
.if n .if \\n(ZN>0 .if \\n(PE>0 .if !\\n(.d=\\n(PE .sp 1

The described bugs do not occur with -me.
