As soon as Kevin sent me the olh callouts for printing in Andrew I knew
where to look for the problem.  The ez2ps that got handed to rel-eng is
defective.

*> Take /mit/andydevo/src/cmu/site/overwrites/ez2ps and install it in
the source tree in .../src/cmu/site/overwrites.

Replace /usr/andrew/bin/ez2ps with this version.

----

This new version of ez2ps is REQUIRED on the RS/6000.
It is OPTIONAL everywhere else.

----

The problem occured because:   CMU took my ez2ps program and modified it
to use ditroff instead of troff.  So we have to overwrite the standard
one with our own that uses troff.  The overwrite version missed getting
the RS/6000 bug fix somehow.
