Because you didn't tell nroff about any other terminal type (or specified a non-existing one!) and nroff defaulted to Teletype Model 37!!! The driver table for the venerable old 37 uses its half-line motions to make the page number look nice. The moral of the story is ALWAYS specify a terminal to nroff. Additionally, I have modified our at LBL to complain if you specify a non-existing table. The distributed version silently reverts to Model 37. -Mike
