- I support a commercial PostScript interpreter and know firsthand
- that just because something doesn't print is not necessarily
- evidence that the printer is broken. I have seen many examples
- of things that "worked" on other interpreters but "break" on
- ours, and after investigation found that it worked by accident.

- Perhaps it is truly a bug, but you need to make sure that the
- output is not dependent on undocumented features (especially
- before making a big noise).
