These are starting to get rediscovered, so I guess I had better inform the list:
1. deals with deficient operating systems that impose a small limit on the
number of concurrently open files (e.g. 4.2BSD). The font cache size
must be reduced. This does NOT reduce the number of fonts usable -- it
just causes the PXL files to be closed and reopened more often.
Apparently that number should be even lower for SUN's with windows, but
I don't know anything about that.
2. deals with a bug in an error message handling \special files.
Diffs:

< #define MAXOPEN 50 /* limit on number of open PXL files */

> #define MAXOPEN 15 /* limit on number of open PXL files */

< fprintf(stderr,"Unable to open special file %d\n", str );
