We have numerous LaserWriters on our UNIX network, using gatorboxes as
bridges.  No problems for months.  Recently an OLD, ORIGINAL Apple LaserWriter
(not PLUS, not IINT, etc.) has rejected most of the postscript stuff I send it,
with the error something like: illegal command: bind.  This is megaweird, my 
suspicion is that somebody downloaded & saved some nasty dictionary crap into
it, which it has retained.  Is there a way to check, or do a massive reset
to this beastie?

(Please email guesses to black@LL.MIT.EDU.... Thanks!)
