Groff woes (still) + GEOM problem

1) Ok...Finally able to complete a buildworld/buildkernel via the note in
UPDATING relating to OSRELDATE. Successfully upgraded world/kernel via:

# OSRELDATE=500110 make buildworld buildkernel installworld installkernel

Groff still is busted:
# man man
Formatting page, please wait.../usr/bin/groff: can't find `DESC' file
/usr/bin/groff:fatal error: invalid device `ascii'
Done.

These type errors are produced during buildworld and cause it to die without
the OSRELDATE flag set.

Now, running this kernel/world (with still broken groff), I am running into
GEOM related trouble:

(kgdb) core-file /usr/local/var/adm/crash/vmcore.0
