Description Scott Lamb 2002-08-29 02:40:58 UTC 
groff blows an assertion when passed the iso-8859-1 manual page with default
(UTF-8) locale.

    $ rpm -q man man-pages groff
    man-1.5j-9
    man-pages-1.53-1
    groff-1.18-5
    $ man 7 iso-8859-1 > /dev/null
    troff: Failed assertion at line 2996, file `node.cc'.
    groff: troff: Aborted
    grotty:<standard input>:543:warning: no final `x stop' command
Comment 1 Florian La Roche 2002-08-31 20:47:28 UTC 
"man 7 iso_8859-1" works fine
"man 7 iso-8859-1" faults, but this is just a reference to the other man-page

"nroff -man -Tutf8 iso_8859-1.7 | less" and
"nroff -man -Tutf8 iso-8859-1.7 | less" work both fine and also without
the -Tutf8

Seems to be some problem with "man" or something else??

greetings,
