Hallo, I have a DX4-100 with 32 meg ram and nearly 66 meg swap space.
Over the weekend I installed gs-aladdin_5.50-5.deb, xpdf_0.80-2.deb gsfonts-other_5.10-1.deb and gsfonts_5.10a-1.deb from potato to try out dvipdf. While printing an eight page .pdf file created by dvipdf (I just typed lpr file.pdf) everything went well until page eight which did not have anything funny on it. The computer grinded to a halt and I had to reset it. Top reported that gs used more than 90% of my memory including all of the swap space. After reset and restart, I started composing this message and had to reset the computer again because I did not kill gs in time to do prevent a repeat of the same problem. Does anyone know the explanation for this? Should I downgrade to slink's gs-aladdin?
