There's a minor bug in the -me macro package on 4.2bsd. (This is
version 2.14 of the -me macros.) One of the features of -me is
the use of an "-rx1" flag in nroff in order to set the line spacing
to 1/8 inch when using a 12-pitch printout setting.
In the macro package, there's a syntax error in the line where
the number register "x" is referenced (line 908-909):
.if (1m<0.1i)&(\nx!=0) \
. vs 9p
The "!" is misplaced and thus messes up the conditional. (Instead of
setting the vertical spacing, it sends "!=0 \ . vs 9p" to the
standard output.) Change to:
.if (1m<0.1i)&(\nx>0) \
. vs 9
