   * What led up to the situation?

     Checking for defects with

test-[g|n]roff -mandoc -t -K utf8 -rF0 -rHY=0 -ww -b -z < "man page"

  [Use "groff -e ' $' <file>" to find trailing spaces.]

  ["test-groff" is a script in the repository for "groff"; is not shipped]
(local copy and "troff" slightly changed by me).

  [The fate of "test-nroff" was decided in groff bug #55941.]

   * What was the outcome of this action?


troff: backtrace: file 'stdin':956
troff:stdin:956: warning: trailing space in the line


   * What outcome did you expect instead?

     No output (no warnings).

-.-

  General remarks and further material, if a diff-file exist, are in the
attachments.

Hi,

Thanks for this. There's enough fixes here that's probably worth working
directly with upstream to get it merged there. Can you please submit a
pull request upstream (https://github.com/lsof-org/lsof/pulls), or
submit your patch to the upstream issue tracker
(https://github.com/lsof-org/lsof/issues)?

If for some reason you cannot, I can do it for you, but it's not
necessary for me to be in the middle.

Also, note that upstream the file changed from lsof.8 to Lsof.8.

Thanks,
Andres
