Set up:
Sun 3/260 (running 4.0.3) using papif to send files to a LaserWriter+
via a KFP-2

Occasionally our LaserWriter refuses to print anything and gives the
following messages in the (temporary) log file:


papif: Starting job for james@amalthea.ps.ucl.ac.uk at Wed Jan 31 17:17:42
1990 on printer Sun LaserWriter:LazerWriter@PHOTOGRAMMETRY
%%[ Error: limitcheck; OffendingCommand: framedevice ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
/usr/local/cap/lw: 4934 Memory fault - core dumped

(/usr/local/cap/lw is a shell script that runs papif).

This error seems to happen after printing some TeX files (using dvi2ps) -
although it is possible to print the same files without any problems at
other times.

All subsequent print jobs fail with the same message. The only way to cure the
problem is to turn the LaserWriter off.

The cause of the problem is probably the PostScript produced by dvi2ps,
but is there any way of stopping papif core dumping?
