Probably the code for "new page" needs to invalidate current status
(pd->xxx) of several items, or at least record the actual status. For
fonts we had a similar problem when the clipping changed (which got
fixed by setting it to -1), and I wouldn't be surprised if clipping
also could do strange stuff to the line widths. With a bit of luck, we
could in the same operation squash the "undefined in /bg" problem that
affects the PS output from "make check". Anyone...?
