Well, forget my last reply - I just compared/printed only the first pages
which *where* (and still *are*) identical. The differences occur later on.
It is obviously a matter of the pages array in the pstops filter (remember,
I'm still using CUPS 1.1). I suspect there is some quirk with the large file
support on Solaris - I'll have to compile in a couple or diagnostic messages,
and see what happens.
