I'm running -current of various dates but I have one reproducible problem with ghostview 1.5: When I run ghostscript on the file I appended, e.g. ghostview zeus.eps the disk starts heavily thrashing. Viewing the file with gs alone works fine. The systems gets so busy that it is hard to get a foot in the door to bail it out (^C in the xterm). It looks a bit to me like libgnumalloc being the culprit. The same behaviour (heavy disk activity ad nauseam) when doing a Find in a (certain) document in netscape (v30b[56] and also 2.0x). I bet netscape is linked against libgnumalloc as well. If anyone wants to reproduce the problem I put up the file zeus.eps to freefall/incoming. --Chris Christoph P. U.
