If you look carefully, groff actually discards information.  Try

  .Ud ) ;
  .Ud zootsuit

and note that the trailing words are silently discarded.

I've now configured `Ud' to throw away its arguments and warn about it. 
  It also marks itself as a sentence.  Note that `Bt' is now also fixed 
to do the same.  I also added the mdoc.7 bits for `Ud'.

I also fixed `Rv' and `Ex' to have an EOS marker, while I was at it.

Thanks again,

Kristaps
