Follow-up Comment #3, bug #57538 (project groff):

  The symptom is caused by a higher footer in troff-mode than in the
nroff-mode.

  The footer in troff-mode is half a line bigger (6.5 v).

  The documentation ("doc/meref.ps") mentions "6v ...[nominal]" for
the register "bm".

  It is common to have a different page layout in troff from that in
nroff as the resolution is very different.

  troff is a typesetting "machine"; nroff a typewriter, line printer
"machine".
