[tex-k] dvips bug

[Gerd Kunert]

Hello,

I am using dvips 5.86 under Linux (Linux box12 2.2.10 #2 Tue Jul 4 16:29:40 CEST 2000 i686 unknown
).

Recently I observed some obscure error. The workaround was
- use dvips 5.58f
- or unsetenv LANG (original value german).

The output is attached below.
Any proposals?

Best regards,

Gerd
