R devel - Apr 2001 - using bitmap to make a multi-page pdf file results in duplication of (PR#908)

When I execute the following code:

bitmap("test.pdf",type="pdfwrite")
plot(1:10,1:10,main="ONE")
plot(1:10,1:10,main="TWO")
dev.off()

the resulting file test.pdf contains four pages: graph ONE, graph TWO,
graph ONE, graph TWO.  I can recreate the problem with R version 1.2.1 and
1.2.2.  I am using Aladdin ghostscript version 6.50.  The temporary file
Rbit... has the correct number of graphs in it.  Furthermore, if I execute
from the command line the command as constructed in 'bitmap()', using
the
Rbit... file as input, I get a pdf file with the correct number of graphs
in it.
