The latest changes to the nroff(1) script cause it to drop all accumulated "$opts" when user specifies -Txxx option. The patch (which fix it) illustrates the issue properly... I've found this bug, when tried to read a manual page under MC (Midnight Commander). Due to historical reasons, MC reads any manual through the filter: "nroff -c -Tlatin1 -mandoc filename". Since it uses "-Tlatin1", in the current version of nroff all "$opts" will be dropped, IOW no more "-mtty-char -P-c" etc. As a result, some raw postscript text is shown instead of the properly formatted manual page.
