                 pattern differs in 4th column of stars in the last box.

+                Analyzed by Igor.
+                This is a general pattern implementation problem.
+                The test defines a pattern with TESTPROC,
+                and then pallyes this pattern for creating another pattern 
+                Inf71ColorPattern. Doing the 2nd step, Ghostscript 
+                instantiates the 1st pattern in the 2nd pattern's space.
+                Contrary to that, CPSI instantiates the 1st pattern
+                in the device space when instantiating the 1st pattern.
+                Thus the overall pattern period with CPSI is a multiple
+                of periods of the 1st and the 2nd patterns.
+                This problem may be fixed for Ghostscript
+                with implementing high level patterns for
+                clist and raster devices.
+                It would be a significant development,
+                which we currently have no time for.
+                Passing to Ray for schedulling.
+                assign: Ray.
