When I compile Ghostscript 2.5.2 with gcc 2.3.1, the executable generated (gs) gets
into an infinite loop displaying "Initializing... Unrecoverable error: Unrecoverable error: 
Unrecoverable error: Unrecoverable error: Unrecoverable error:" etc.

I tried all three optimization levels with the same result.

This used to work with gcc 2.2.2 (however, gs failed with a different error when
it was compiled with -O2).

gs works fine when compiled with the system's C compiler (SGI's ANSI cc on an IRIS
Indigo running IRIX 4.0.5A).

Hopefully this bug can be easily reproduced on your system. If not, I'll be glad
to supply additional information, if needed.

Regards, Carsten.
