suggested patch (Tzafrir Cohen's idea)

Fixed package is a2ps-4.13b-32.  Thanks.

No, thank *you*.
However, I noticed that in the spec you use .bison extension when
applying my .hebrew patch. This might confuse future debuggers. You
should decide if it's worth your time to change this. (unless it was
intentional in the first place, and I am being really stupid pointing
it out).

Oops.  Fixed in CVS.

Oops, my (double) bad.
1. I did not notice in time that the hebrew patch to `configure' is applied
before autoconf is run. This is nonsense. The patch should be applied to
`configure.in' instead.

2. I mistakenly submitted this change to the patch as a comment. Please excuse
my bugzilla infamiliarity.

It would be nice if you could clear my mess!

I think this might already be fixed in 4.13b-60.fc7 (F7 test1).
