Thanks for this report; I've translated this into patches against the groff 
source files and filed a pull request (see above URL)

Two notes about things I didn't take:

> #, no-wrap
> msgid "B<FatalErrors all >I<-kind >[ ... I<-kind >]"

Yes, as far as I understand it:

	FatalErrors all -config

means "All errors but configuration file syntax errors are fatal", but:

	FatalErrors config

means "Only configuration file syntax errors are fatal"

No, because `find -ls` isn't runnable as-is. You need `find <path> -ls` etc, 
so referring to `find` 's "-ls" output makes sense.

I can't really see what's wrong here. How is it broken? In the original/final 
manpages?
