No, when I ran the example for the three languages, I made sure that they were 
all doing the Rosenbrock function. Odd that the sombrero function does not give 
these extra PS commands. I will have to check that on my system.
FYI: the extra commands look like this:

0.9216 0.5098 0.2784 C 1865 1033 M
 Z
1346 2569 A 1346 2569 D 1346 2569 D 1346 2569 D 1346 2569 D

1346 2569 A 1346 2569 D 1346 2569 D 1346 2569 D S
0.9216 0.7725 0.2784 C 1346 2569 M

And they appear at what seems the start of the fifth and tenth page - the sets 
are identical.
(Detail: in the first line the second number differs)

... oops, while I look at this more closely, I see that the extra commands 
appear in the _C_ version, not as I thought the Fortran version. Well, that may 
make the riddle easier to solve!


Another question though: at some point the default function became the 
Rosenbrock function, not the sombrero. I see that in older source trees and for 
several languages (I did not check all of them).

Once I have reinstalled it, that should not be a problem. Just a matter of 
patience :). And nowadays I am fluent with setting environment variables to the 
right values - in all shell environments on Windows. Syntax differs - that is 
the main thing to keep in mind.
