[cl-typesetting-devel] peculiar behaviour

[Bob Hutchison]

Hi,

I'm starting to look into the cl-typesetting package and am 
encountering some very strange behaviour.

I tried this bit of lisp:

(iter (for i from 1 to 30)
   (tt::pprint-lisp-file
     (pathname "/Users/hutch/cl/cl-typesetting/pprint.lisp")
     (pathname (format nil "/tmp/pprint~A.pdf" i))
     "pprint of pprint"))

Which runs without reporting any problems.

Check out the sizes of the files produced:

A quick look at the pdf files shows that varying amounts of content is 
missing from the beginning of the document.

Is this something unique to my setup (LW for mac) or are other people 
seeing this too? I first saw this when I was playing with the 
kw-extensions.

Cheers,
Bob
