I have six files containing postscript code generated by a 'C' program.
When sent through a spooler one-at-a-time to my NEC LC-890, each file produces
the expected linechart.  When sent one-after-the-other so the spooler queues
them, the fourth chart is not produced.  I have mixed the order and still it
is the fourth chart which is missing.  All the charts are similar so this
seems to make sense.  I suspect I am running out of Virtual Memory or some-
thing else.

I have made a CHECKVM utility to check VMstatus during the printout and it
seems that I have not run out of virtual memory.  Available is 1304576 while
used is 107246.

The postscript files are in the following format:

gsave
/something {blah blah blah} bind def
.
.
.
save
X Y moveto
newX newY lineto
newX newY lineto
newX newY lineto
.
.
.
stroke
restore

grestore

Any Hints???
