No, you are right. I know you are right, that's why I (gs maintainer) use gcc-2.7.2.1. So, you are wrong in thinking that gcc-2.7.2's bugs may have caused this. Anyway, for anyone interested, his problems were caused by him using libc-5.4.7. Also, he would get core dumps whatever arguments he gave to gs (as long as it were at least 2 arguments, I think). -- joost witteveen [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Use Debian/GNU Linux! -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
