Hello,

this is to note that plan9's troff ms macro set seems to be broken in
how the .RS and .RE macros are implemented.
You may try
------------------
.LP
a
.RS
.IP
b
.RE
.LP
c
------------------
... c is misplaced

However one can appeal to p9p's implementation, where this has been corrected.

Ruda

PS.: It's a pity that this mistake must have been once hunted down
(probably on p9p), but wasn't then propagated back.
