tbl | troff error?

[eric at burdvax.UUCP]

	The following file, when "tbl file | vtroff -me" produces a
weird result. The two lines of X's are printed so that the characters
actually overlap each other, and its ugly too. I do not know
troff well enough to look at the tbl output to see if something
is obviously wrong.  I do know that if the table is taken out,
or the .sz 24 line is removed, the output is fine. I am interested
in both work arounds at the troff level, and also code mods to
troff. This behavior occurs for vtroff and ditroff on our Vax
and Sun systems both running 4.2 BSD.
