I had my pipeline set up "soelim doc.mm | eqn | tbl | eroff", as eqn
complained about "unquoted troff commands".  This should have tipped
me off, but I was too rushed to notice.

I've just checked my tbl output and it does use "%" in a register name.
Once I changed the %'s to $'s everything worked fine.  Now I wonder why
the eqn manual suggests using %'s as delimiters.

Thanks for your help,
