Nearly. It's more a way of saying that there's a bug in the chain
dvips/ps2pdf, and I don't know whether one of them can be blamed, or
whether it's the PostScript specification that does not allow this.
If you (or somebody else) knows or finds out, go ahead and file a bug
against tetex-bin.
Should we close this bug, reassign it to tetex-bin, or what?
Regards, Frank
