+I have just discovered a bug in 'dvi2pcl', version 0.8. The bug was introduced
+as the result of a "quick and dirty" addition of free() in cachefonts.c
+where I added, without enough testing, the following lines:
+
+ /* Release malloc'ed memory */
+ for(n = fontnum-1 ; n >= 0 ; n--) {
+ f = fontlist[n];
+ free(fontptr[f]);
+ }
+
+Please remove them again or you may run into severe problems! I will try
+better next time... (blush).
