[Remind-Fans] rem2ps broken?

[Craig B Agricola]

David, can you make the full PostScript file available, as well as the
reminder input files?  This looks similar to the issue that was caused
by extraneous whitespace at the end of a MSG clause, but without seeing
the full PS file (and likely the input files too), it's hard to say...

You could likely get an idea if this was caused by extraneous whitespace
at the end of the line by doing something like:

sed '/[ \t]$/!d' <remind_input_files>

This will show any lines that end in a space or a tab.
