I downloaded the latest (only) version of a2ps
but it barfed as follows:

ozyd13-p3%/root#perl a2ps   
yacc stack overflow in file a2ps at line 884, next 2 tokens
"{$opt_strip_trail_blanks "
Execution of a2ps aborted due to compilation errors.

This version compiles/runs fine on ULTRIX and Digital UNIX
so it looks like a bug in either FreeBSD perl or yacc or
does "stack overflow" imply its just too big ??
