Subject: arcto bug in gs4.01, fixed?
Message-ID: <rpivbcnyd1.fsf@su05a4.i-have-a-misconfigured-system-so-shoot-me>

gs4.01 and gs2.6.2 show different output when displaying a .ps file
with the contents
%!PS-Adobe-2.0
newpath 300 100 moveto
80 100 80 300 30 arcto 4 {pop} repeat
stroke
showpage
gs2.6.2 shows an arc with a straight line,
gs4.01 shows only the arc but no line.
+-----
This patch fixes also Problems, K. Steinberger had:
"that solves a problem I had with Postscript files created with LateX
and pstricks."
+-----
I made the same experiences, using gs-2.6.2 and 4.01 unpatched. After applying
the patch everything is displayed fine using ghostview, gv and also when
printing with the stcolor driver on a Stylus PRO.
So I think this patch can be added without greater trouble. Please let me
know, if this fix should break something.
