+
+In dispchar.h, change the line
+
+ rightones[HOST_WORD_SIZE - 1 - bits_to_next] &
+to
+ rightones[bits_to_next] &
+
+This code is not active for non 32-bit machines, or the IBM
+PC, and the local 32-bit Unix machines running the driver
+family have been using only the laser printer members, so
+the bug was not caught until we actually tried DVIPRX output
+under VAX VMS. The effect it has is that large vertical
+white streaks appear in the output bitmap; dispchar() is
+used by all the low-resolution dot matrix printers.
