Author Clipping, clipsave and cliprestore

The following program does not do what I expect it to
do when I use cliprestore.

I do clipsave to save the current (full page) clipping.

Then I do some clipping. Draw some text which is
clipped correctly, but if I use cliprestore the
clipping does not go back to full page clipping.
I have to do initclip to get the thing to work.



%!PS-Adobe-3.0

% save current clipping
clipsave

% create new clipping...
newpath
100 100 moveto
200 100 lineto
200 200 lineto
100 200 lineto
closepath
clip

% Draw clipped text...
/Times-Roman findfont 50 scalefont setfont
100 100 moveto (Lower Testo) show

% draw unclipped text
initclip
% cliprestore !!!This does not restore the full clipping
300 300 moveto (Testo page) show

showpage

Works fine for me using GS 8.51 and a couple of other rips, the initclip
& cliprestore produce identical results. How are you teesting this ?

Thanks. I'm testing with GS, I'll check which version.

Curious, what other RIPs do you use for testing?
