I've been working on a in-house PostScript driver, trying to make
its output conform to Adobe's Document Structuring Conventions V2.0.
My first big test was to try to incorporate a sample file inside
of a PageMaker file.  Unfortunately this failed miserably.
Output from the errorhandler is:

ERROR: typecheck
OFFENDING COMMAND: lineto
STACK:
-savelevel-

I can't find any reference to savelevel in the Red Book. It
sounds like there may be too many gsaves, but my program only
does a page level save, and one gsave up to the point where
printing fails.  I doubt that PageMaker would increase the
nesting level that drastically.  Looking at my code, it seems more
likely that the operand stack would overflow, but then I would expect
to get a "stackoverflow" error.

Any ideas?
