Since rebuilding -current on Friday, I've noticed a strange
phenomenon: compared to the build a week previously, ghostview hangs
on redisplay.  During this time, the machine is completely idle, and
I've discovered that it will continue if I move the cursor in and out
of the window.

It definitely has never done this before--I use ghostview/ghostscript
a lot, and I would have noticed it.  I've also tried various versions
of ghostview and ghostscript, and they all repeat the problem.

It looks as if something is interfering with the interaction
ghostview/ghostscript, and the X events are triggering a retry.

I know this isn't much to go on, but if anybody has any ideas, I'll
gladly follow them up.

BTW, is anybody else experiencing mail problems?  I've had almost no
mail from the mailing lists in the last few days, and what mail has
come through has been delayed up to 8 hours.  Personal mail is still
coming.

Greg
