Ditroff produces a "Word overflow" message when it assembles a
word that is too long.  Eqn produces very long strings and
makes extensive use of unpaddable space characters, so it has
a tendency to make long words, since space and newline are the
only word delimiters...

You need to change the #defined constant WDSIZE in tdef.h to something
larger and recompile.  It is 270 on our system and that ran
your matrix example with no troubles.
