Follow-up Comment #2, bug #68515 (group groff):

Branden's comment 8 in bug #68511 quotes these test results, using a build
from before #68511 was fixed.

$ ../src/roff/groff/tests/hcode-request-copies-spec-char-code.sh && echo
SUCCESS
<beginning of page>
r<'e><hy>
sum<'e>
r<'e><hy>
sum<'e>
R<'E><hy>
SUM<'E>
SUCCESS

This matches what I'm seeing on a pre-68511-fix build.  But it does not match
the "expected output" in the comments of the script.  I'm not sure why, but
since the difference is in the part of the output _before_ the script makes
any .hcode calls, this suggests we're not testing what we think we're testing.
