Hi all,

	I'm using Walnut Creek Slackware version 3.1 with kernel 2.0.
All's well except dvips program doesn't work. Here's a typical
scenario:

neptune{pavan}: dvips lcn96 -o lcn96.ps
This is dvipsk 5.58a Copyright 1986, 1994 Radical Eye Software
Segmentation fault
neptune{pavan}: dvips lcn96
Got a new papersize
This is dvipsk 5.58a Copyright 1986, 1994 Radical Eye Software
Segmentation fault


	I think there's a serious bug in dvips with this slackware.
The same source latex file compiles alright on my cs dept
machines.

	Any experiences/pointers in this regard will be highly
appreciated.

Pavan
