Probably, I was in a hurry and I didn't check the terminology.

PostScript calls them patterns, Lout calls them textures.

I will try learn about Ghostscript's debugging facilities, etc.

I've done my share of PostScript debugging over the years, and
it's a pain.  I suggest hand-editing the output file that crashes
with stuff like this:

    (entering TextureProc\n) print
    ...
    (leaving TextureProc\n) print

It's primitive but you're in control.  Also there is a PostScript
command to print the stack out which would be useful in this case.
The operand stack, that is.

Roger that. The last time I did PS debugging was to fix the Lua logo for a booklet; I traced the stack on paper, it was an unbalanced stack. Anyway, I will sign off and schedule some time this weekend for this thingy.
