    * mdoc(7): Avoid a NULL pointer access triggered by mismatching end macros.
    * mdoc(7): Avoid an assertion when .Fo has no argument.

    * mdoc(7): Fix macro interpretation around tabs in .Bl -column.
    * man(7): Use the default width for .RS without arguments.
    * man(7): On a new RS nesting level, the saved width starts from
