    Has anyone worked out why ghostview prints not the number of prints
    requested, but the square of that number? I assume it is not just me,
    because it happens on all my debian systems. I have cups, and sarge and
    sid boxes. When viewing a ps or pdf in gv, select any print function,
    add to the small command pop-up window " -# 2" and get 4 prints. Add
    " -# 5" and get 25 prints. It is good for your mental arithmetic ('How
    do I get 13 prints? -- oh, yes, do 3 then 2'), but can be alarming if
    you forget and order 23 prints...
