Gack. If this was GNU troff, please report it officially. https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=groff&func=additem Please attach the offending exhibit and any script(s) necessary to drive the issue. If you have time to truncate the input to the page after limits.h(0p), and the bug reproduces, that would be helpful. I only know of one other issue like this, but it has nothing to do with eqn, and it tarpits every *roff it meets. https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?64229 But eqn itself doesn't create or use diversions (it can't--it's already exited by the time a "diversion" exists), so at first blush I think something else must be making it go asymptotic.
