GNU doc generates font checksum error for Tex with dvi2ps

When I format GNU documentation (TeX C version 2.93)
and print it with dvi2ps I get the following:

dvi2ps *.dvi > /dev/null
 [/usr/local/lib/tex/tex.ps]Substituted font cmr10 at mag 219 for cmb10 at mag 219.
 font = "/usr/local/lib/tex/fonts/cmr10.329gf",
 -->font checksum = -770990554,
 -->dvi checksum = 1274110073


The output looks fine and the error message is not produced for
other files. I tried recompiling the cmr10.329gf file with METAFONT
which produces a file which differs in size from the cmr10.329gf file
loaded from the TeX distribution tape, but still produces the errormessage.

We run SunOs 3.5. What am I doing wrong ? Is it a bug in dvi2ps ?
We have version "2.10gf"

Any help is MUCH appreciated !

Tom
