In 0.32.0 there's a new boolean in PSOutputDev.

In this particular case gcc is not making the class grow because it can still 
pack the new boolean with the rest, but honestly i don't know enough about C++ 
to know if this is standard mandated or compiler/architecture specific, so i 
decided to err on the safe side and still increase the soname.
