Description:
The "new" -man [nt]roff package uses '@' internally as a text
delimiter causing troubles with hanging tags containing one.
You will also have troubles with manuals for programs having
'@' in their name.
Repeated-by:
Include the lines
.TP
@ this is a very long hanging tag
so this should be written on a separate line
in a manual text. The second text line will be written on the
same line as the tag.
Fix:
Replace all occurrences of '@' by '^G' (BEL) in
/usr/lib/tmac/tmac.an.new
