IE60BRJ2.BIN.pcl

Customer reports that rendering to bmpmono produces bad output, but color
output seems OK.

Command line:
pcl6 -sDEVICE=bmpmono -r600 -o IE60BRJ2.BIN%i.bmp IE60BRJ2.BIN.pcl

Since this is peculiar to AIX, giving it to Chris

It's not AIX specific, but it is big-endian specific, it was introduced with:
https://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;a=commit;h=8c432810d36

more specifically, it comes from:

https://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;a=commitdiff;h=e4f2d720ced

on the page_group branch.

This is a "regression" (at least from a user/customer perspective), so I'm tentatively making it a P1.
