   Sometimes, printmonitor seems to be fed a page that causes it to bomb.
Upon rebooting the machine, if you are running multifinder, the machine
bombs again after 5 or 6 seconds. This can be fixed by cleaning out the spool
folder, but I wondered if anyone can explain why it should exhibit this
behavior?

   We are running on Mac II with 5 MB ram, system 5.0, and a variety of inits
(Vaccine, Quickkeys, HierDA, Quickergraf, Pyro, Soundmaster 1.2). The pages
that bomb printmonitor seem to be generated by TeXtures (v. 1.01, and
possibly v. 1.01c).

   Thanks for any clues on this!
