Watching the messages that come back from the Laserwriter shpows that
the casuse is a VMerror. I suspect that the dvi*ps programs are not as
careful as they might be w.r.t. postscript data space (or code space?)

The same documents print flawlessly with MicroTeX's laser package (and spr).

I have a single page that I cannot print using dvi2ps! Very frustrating indeed!
