- is this reproducable, i.e. does it always crash in ghostscript, and at
 the same file?

- does increasing your datasize limit (see ulimit if you're running
 something like ksh or bash) fix the problem?

I'm asking because I'm doing the OpenBSD port of lilypond and
experienced some really ugly bugs when running out of memory (that's
a fault in either guile or lilypond, but not relevant here), and
during testing, I had at least one or two cases where ghostscript
ran out of memory, too.

The problem is reproducible. It fails on the same file every time. I
had been building using csh, so as a WAG, I tried bash. The bash ulimit
values are:

core file size          (blocks, -c) unlimited
data seg size           (kbytes, -d) 33554432
file size               (blocks, -f) unlimited
max locked memory       (kbytes, -l) unlimited
max memory size         (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files                      (-n) 32768
pipe size            (512 bytes, -p) 1
stack size              (kbytes, -s) 524288
cpu time               (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes              (-u) 5547
virtual memory          (kbytes, -v) unlimited

Building under bash made no difference.
