Hi, Jonas.
For some strange reason, I did not receive your message and I only
discovered it when I took a peek at the bugs that I had submitted.

I am actually trying to see the files using gv, which uses gs. Using the
very same command that gv uses, I get:
,----[ gs -sDEVICE=x11 -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=2
-dMaxBitmap=10000000 -dNOPLATFONTS wikipedia-witt-vector.pdf ]

I don't know if the "Last OS error: 11" part is a segfault or not, but
the hardware here is working fine during LaTeXing files, compiling
programs (the Linux kernel), and converting video & audio.

Weirdly, some things that work here are:
* ps2pdf14 wikipedia-witt-vector.pdf
* pdf2ps wikipedia-witt-vector.pdf

No, I have plenty of space here:

Oops, this was a misinformation of my part. I can print with gs (I use
the pcl3 device with magicfilter + lprng---I don't use CUPS). So, scrap
what I said earlier about printing the files with gs: it works fine.
This leads me to think that we may have some kind of problem with the
x11 device.
Thanks, Rogério Brito.
