That would indicate this is not a ghostpcl problem.  Since we provide
you with the source code you can create a debug build and use a
debugger to figure out what is happening.  Putting a breakpoint on
pcl/pccid.c:check_cid_hdr() and stepping through the code should tell
you everything you need to know.  Use the source young Skywalker!!!
