They don't do what you might expect in troff: a leading . is preferable.

 .SH USAGE
 .LP
 When using the \fB\-p\fR flag, \fBdtrace\fR stops the target processes while it is inspecting them and reporting results. A process can do nothing while it is stopped. This means that, if, for example, the X server is inspected by \fBdtrace\fR running in a window under the X server's control, the whole window system can become deadlocked, because the \fBdtrace\fR tool would be attempting to display its results to a window that cannot be refreshed. In such a case, logging in from another system using \fBssh\fR(1) and killing the offending \fBdtrace\fR tool clears the deadlock.
