I take it "Rev 47 ROMs" means that the PostScript version number is
47 ("version" in "systemdict", that which has previously taken the
values 23 and 38): is there also a change to the revision number
("revision" in "statusdict", previously 0 and 2)?

What new goodies do we get with this PostScript version? In particular,
I would like to know if the bug that causes the LaserWriter to go
into states where every new job gives "limitcheck" immediately has
been fixed---it seems to be hitting us with increasing frequency.
