This dictfull error probably means FrameMaker on the Mac is not
storing things into its own dictionary, but is using whatever is on
the top of the dict stack, which could be userdict or md. In either
case there is a limit to how many keys are available. This limit
might not be reached on the Sun because there is no md (it is Apple-
specific) or because the Sun driver does not use as many keys in
userdict.

Another possibility is that FrameMaker is allocating its own
dict, but is not leaving enough entries for the keys required by
your HPGL/EPSF file. There are other possibilities, too, but I
would need a lot more context to determine the problem. Can you
provide more info?
