"Testing can never show the absence of bugs, only their presence."

Ghostscript's clipping logic was completely rewritten from 2.3 to
2.4.  It now is correct conceptually (i.e., it intersects clipping
regions rather than just replacing them), but despite the best
efforts of several dozen beta testers, there were at least two
residual bugs.  I've found and fixed these, and the Mathematic output
now displays correctly.

The fixes will be in release 2.4.1, due out next week if not sooner.
Unfortunately, they're a little too complicated to post.
