Sure, actually I guess using getline is better, since it introduces less
new code. Happily, I managed to get CVS a2ps compiled this time
(autoreconf from bootstrap was calling aclocal-1.4, even though I have
1.6 installed).

My fix works, but unfortunately, I found that it only fixes things when
"-1" is given as an option, so the output must be getting mangled
somewhere else whenever more than one page per sheet is requested. I'll
try fixing that too eventually, but for now I'm happy with correct
output with one page per sheet.

Thanks,
  Jason
