Reason: Don Knuth changed the log files from the 2008 +distribution manually. He didn't want to wait for a reference installation +of TeX and friends. He could have taken a slightly modified TeX-GPC! +But from 2008 to 2014 the one and only change in mf resulted in +changed addresses of the capsules. Which are not harmful. I undid +the change of the 2014 distribution and voila, the difference of +the addresses was gone. + +See diff_trap.log for the differences of ../trap.log and trap.log + +See diff_trap.fot for the differences of ../trap.fot and trap.fot + +Step 5.
