Summary:                    /opt/csw/share/groff/1.20.1/tmac/doc.tmac:3375: bad
character definition
Description: 
Tested on build10x. When trying to format the autossh man page with gnroff,
gnroff throws a warning:

$ gnroff -man autossh.1 > /dev/null
/opt/csw/share/groff/1.20.1/tmac/doc.tmac:3375: bad character definition

The first part of the formatted man page (everything before the first .Sh)
looks a bit garbled, although I don't know whether that's because of the
above warning.

R] .if 0nl]   .    setup-header
...
UNTITLED                             LOCAL                           
UNTITLED
...
$] .tm Usage: .Sh section_name ...

I have attached the man page so that you can reproduce the warning message
if necessary (and maybe shed some light on the garbled output). WRT to the
warning message there is also a related bug report over at Gentoo:
