Bug#361978: enscript 1.6.4-7
Package: enscript
Version: 1.6.4-7
$ uname -a
Linux allegro 2.4.27-3-686 #1 Wed Feb 8 12:40:33 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
$ ls -l /lib/libc.so.6

BUG : the output text of a PostScript escape is immediately truncated
at the point where that text contains a keyword in the language
which is being highlighted.
Please see the attached bash script. It echoes a single line,
containing some PostScript escape text, and runs this thorough
'enscript' using no highlighting, 'C' highlighting, and 'Java'
highlighting. The outputs from all three runs should be the same,
but they are not.
