I did what I should have done long ago:
type DVIPSSectionPage into google.

It appears that when dvips infers that the printer
would otherwise run out of memory, it breaks the 
file into independent sections, and drops the %%Page
comments because the file is no longer DSC compliant.
The default postscript printer configuration apparently
is for 150k.

I've changed /sys/lib/texmf/dvips/config/config.ps
from saying "m 150000" to "m 10000000", which should
fix the problem, in all the printers.

can't help with the dvips stuff (hell, I
almost still need help tying my shoes!) but
Rokicki's web page (and email) is at:

    www.radicaleye.com

and he's usually interested in anything that
might be considered a bug in dvips, so altho I'm 
sure he's more than busy, he may have a suggestion.

that's a weird bug in the plan9 dvips setup.

if you do

	dvips -Ppsfonts foo.dvi > foo.ps
or	dvips -Pbitmapfonts foo.dvi > foo.ps

then you get nice %%Page: boundaries,
but if you do 

	dvips foo.dvi >foo.ps
or (i think) dvips -Pps foo.dvi >foo.ps

you get this weird %DVIPS stuff.

if any tex wizards out there know how
to fix this, please let me know.

thanks.
russ
