These are starting to get rediscovered, so I guess I had better inform the list:

  1. deals with deficient operating systems that impose a small limit on the
     number of concurrently open files (e.g. 4.2BSD).  The font cache size
     must be reduced.  This does NOT reduce the number of fonts usable -- it
     just causes the PXL files to be closed and reopened more often.
     Apparently that number should be even lower for SUN's with windows, but 
     I don't know anything about that.
  2. deals with a bug in an error message handling \special files.

Diffs:
    
    100c100
    < #define  MAXOPEN         50  /* limit on number of open PXL files */
    ---
    > #define  MAXOPEN         15  /* limit on number of open PXL files */
    820c820
    <                 fprintf(stderr,"Unable to open special file %d\n", str );
    ---
    >                 fprintf(stderr,"Unable to open special file %s\n", str );
