I have a problem with the upgrade of the VMS system to 6.0 using dvips.
The problem is rather 'basic', but the local administrators cannot fix it.

Using the simplest latex file, i.e. repeat the word 'text' enough times to fill 
two pages, it is impossible to run it, that is it dump the core, or something 
like this. 

The reason I am posting this here, is to see if another administrator had a 
similar problem, or if there are the authors of the 5.47 version, or the vms 6.0
version monitoring this newsgroup.

If there is another newsgroup that this should be posted, please advise me so.

Thanks, 
Constantin

P.S. Of course, the new upgrade(downgrade?) problems don't end here, but 
continue to bibtex. But I 'll give my administration a chance on it first.
