psglyphs is the same as with 1.4.4, and texttops.c from 1.4.4 only has some 
more debug statements.

So what I'll do next is
(1) check your text file against psglyps (by a Perl script) to see if the 
hebrew text points to the expected glyph names, and
(2) set up a virtual system running cups 1.4.4 and do some tests.

This will take a couple of days, so be patient.
