In the PostScript language reference manual, page 44, Adobe claims that
restore doesn't undo changes made to the elements of strings.   They claim
this "behavior" is a defect...(read bug).  Does anybody know if other
postscript implementations also encorporate this bug?  Has the PostScript
community come to rely upon it's existence?
