[bug-pcl] GhostPCL output corrupted

Hello,

I have GhostPCL compiled and producing PDF output, but when I try to
convert to PDF, it always turns out badly. Acrobat Reader says "Acrobat
could not open 'test.pdf' because it is either not a supported file
type, or because the file has been corrupted"... You get the idea. This
happens if I use v1.38p1 or 1.41.

I use the command line as such: pcl6 -sDevice=pdfwrite
-sOutputFile=test.pdf -dNOPAUSE file.pcl

Pretty straightforward I hope. I don't know what to do about this. Any
thoughts? Would anyone like to take a look at the PCL file I'm trying to
convert?

Thanks a lot,
Dan Gapinski

P.S. This 49KB PCL file converts to a whopping 3.9MB PDF. I can use NTFS
compression to reduce its size to 2.28MB, but that's as small as I can
get it. Just thought you might like to know.
