This is a somewhat roundabout fix to the problem that f2ps does not
intialize the F_comound structure to zero.  I suggest instead using
fig2ps, a version of f2ps which fixes this bug and has some other
extensions.  Fig2ps is part of the TransFig package which can be obtained
from svax.cs.cornell.edu via anonymous FTP in ~ftp/fig/transfig.tar.Z

While you're in that directory, you might want to check out fig-fs.tar.Z,
which is an enhanced version of Fig.
