% This is apparently a bug in PostScript running on a Sun 3/260 under NeWS 1.1.
% The program should produce a series of 5 boxes, however something
% goes wrong with the sethsbcolor for the last box, and PostScript dies
% so the box never shows up. Apparently it is the length of the number
% which causes the problem, since 0.0666 and 0.1666 are ok
% but 0.06667 and 0.16667 kill.
