Hi Jan,
Thanks for the quick reply! Now, with the cvs version of dvipng, the 
problem does go away, but I have a new warning--does it look familiar 
to you? (the resulting png seems ok).

This is dvipng 1.9 Copyright 2002-2006 Jan-Ake Larsson
dvipng warning: cannot find ps2pk.map, nor psfonts.map
kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode cx --bdpi 300 --mag 1+100/300 --dpi 
400 cmr10
mktexpk: /shadow/system/tex/texmf-var/fonts/pk/cx/public/cm/cmr10.400pk 
already exists.

which is weird, since I get this response from the unix command line:
kpsewhich ps2pk.map
 /shadow/system/tex/texmf-var/fonts/map/dvips/updmap/ps2pk.map

thanks for any insights on this, and thanks for your work on dvipng!
