True enough. Here is a better solution:
cpu% diff -c /n/sources/plan9//sys/src/cmd/page/cache.c
/sys/src/cmd/page/cache.c
/n/sources/plan9//sys/src/cmd/page/cache.c:151,156 -
/sys/src/cmd/page/cache.c:151,159
Image *im;
int ra;
+ if(doc->npage < 1)
+ return display->white;
+
im = _cachedpage(doc, angle, page, "");
if(im == nil)
return nil;
cpu%
Sorry about that -- I'd forgotten about -i,
which has always been a hack.
I've submitted this as a patch.
It is unfortunately not related to
Greg Pavelcak's problems, which
I have not been able to reproduce.
The new page works fine for me in
drawterm. That sounds like drawterm
is running out of image memory
somehow, but I don't see how, and
even if it did it should be behaving
more gracefully.
