I don't know whether this is anything to do with your problem, but be
warned that (in some environments, at least---in my case, Apple
Laserwriter with various DVIPS stuff downloaded)  showpage  is not an
operator, but is a procedure defined in  userdict , which calls the
 showpage  operator (found in  systemdict ). Since  bind  doesn't do
anything to names that are associated with procedures, if you have
this setup, to redefine  showpage  you need to do something like
/realshowpage /showpage load def
