since the second printing. If your copy doesn't say `{\sl\kern-1pt Second
printing (October 1984)\/}' on the copyright page, you should also look at
the previous bug list. In fact, the most important corrections to the
first printing were discovered first, so they've already been~made.

\danger If you have a job that doesn't overflow \TeX's capacity, yet
you want to see just how closely you have approached the limits,
just set ^|\tracingstats| to a positive value before the end of your
job. The log file will then conclude with a report on your actual
usage of the first eleven things named above (i.e., the number of strings,
\dots, the save size), in that order. ^^{stack positions}
Furthermore, if you set |\tracingstats| equal to 2~or~more, \TeX\
will show its current memory usage whenever it
does a ^|\shipout| command. Such statistics are broken into two
parts; `|490&5950|' means, for example, that 490 words are being used
for ``large'' things like boxes, glue, and
breakpoints, while 5950 words are being used for ``small'' things like
tokens and characters.

Note: The next printing will use the ``real'' Computer Modern fonts
instead of the ``almost'' Computer Modern fonts. Therefore many of
the line breaks will be slightly different. Also, the font-related
numerical data on pages 27, 29, 66, 75, 76, 79, 88, 98, 99, 112, 113, 310,
314, 396, 399, 409, 420, and 459 will be different. However, these
differences need not be listed here, because the old book was correct with
respect to the old fonts.
