[bug-gs] Incompatible Changes from Version 7.04 to 8.11

[Mirko Scholz]

Hello,

recently I have updated from version 7.04 to 8.11 of ghostscript.
Running some old postscript files I recognised the following
change: the run operator seems to append a showpage to the
included file now.  This makes the operator uncomfortable.
Furthermore the postscript reference says nothing about
such a behaviour.

See http://www.polbox.com/g/gnnggb/rr.ps and
http://www.polbox.com/g/gnnggb/ri.ps 
http://www.polbox.com/g/gnnggb/rii.ps

This does not happen with every included
file.  See below

       -sf=ri.ps     -sf=rii.ps

gs811  one page      three pages 
gs704  one page      one page
