Since the buildworld fiasco of lastweek when groff spun the CPU out of
control, I've been unable to repair groff. Per src/UPDATING, I remade
world/kernel with OSRELDATE=3D500110 set. I installed said world/kernel =
(also
with environment flag still set) and still have an unusable groff:
# man ls
Formatting page, please wait.../usr/bin/groff: can't find `DESC' file
/usr/bin/groff:fatal error: invalid device `ascii'
Done.

This world/kernel (built with said environment flag) is unable to build =
any
subsequent worlds either, failing miserably relating to groff with =
similar
errors as above. Setting the environment flag again allows world to =
build.
?!?! Can someone please give me some advice as to how to repair groff ? =
Am I
at the point when this environment flag is going to have to permanently =
live
in make.conf and that groff will be forever dead ? Seems unlikely; but I =
have
no clue as to how to rectify this.
Thanks in advance.
