Macro .L of man generate some strange output, like this:

.I Brdline
returns a pointer to the start of the line or
.L 0
on end-of-file or read error.

These sentences in bio(2) will generate:

Brdline returns a pointer to the start of the line or '0' '0  ' on
end-of-file or read error.

Is it a bug or something else?

Fixed.  There was a .ie in a recent change that should
have been a .el.  This caused the .ie .el .ie .el .ie .el
chain in the .L macro definition to misbehave.
