Most of the tables come out ok, but some entries don't come out right. I've had problems with groff in the past, so I'm used to moving over to my Solaris box to run it. (Even the simple RFC troff format has problems on my Linux box.) BTW - I tried your command line and the tables still didn't come out right. I'm running version 1.15 of GNU troff, GNU tbl,... on our Linux boxes. I'm not particularly motivated to upgrade since it's very rare that I need to use them, and since I have my trusty Solaris box handy. I'm not sure if using the ms macros versus the me macros made much difference. If the pdf file doesn't look correct to you, then I could regenerate it.
