Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

  Checking for defects with

[test-]groff -mandoc -t -K utf8 -ww -b -z <man page>

  [test-groff is a script in the repository for "groff"]

   * What was the outcome of this action?

troff: backtrace: file '<stdin>':30
troff:<stdin>:30: warning: register 'Pp' not defined
troff: backtrace: file '<stdin>':319
troff:<stdin>:319: warning: macro 'Ss' not defined

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

  No output (warnings).

-.-

  Where are these undefined variables ment to be defined?

  Where are these variables documented?

  Notes and a patch are in the attachments.

Hello Bjarni,

autogen.1 is an autogenerated file there is litle use in trying to patch
it. Since autogen itself (which generates the manpage) is also EOL this
is very unlikely to be touched.
