I'm working on a driver for a Xerox printer we have here at ISU.  I know the
driver (kinda) works (it generates images for most files) but Ghostscript 2.4
seems to die when running screen.ps (which comes with the source) using this
driver.

It displays fine on the screen (X11R4) but created the following traceback
when core was dumped:

>  0 memset.memset(0x0, 0x0, 0x1000ae37, 0x10017040, 0xa7b) ["../memset.s":88, 0
x461dd8]
   1 render_ht() ["gxht.c":281, 0x438d84]
   2 gx_color_load() ["gxht.c":209, 0x438a90]
   3 gs_fill_adjust() ["gspaint.c":58, 0x4289a0]
   4 gs_fill() ["gspaint.c":47, 0x428930]
   5 zfill() ["zpaint.c":47, 0x41be58]
   6 interp.interp() ["interp.c":535, 0x40523c]
   7 gs_interpret() ["interp.c":176, 0x4045ec]
   8 run_string() ["gs.c":314, 0x400b20]
   9 swproc() ["gs.c":146, 0x4003c4]
  10 gs_main() ["gsmain.c":111, 0x41d34c]
  11 main() ["gs.c":123, 0x4002b8]

Is this a known bug, or is it something only I've found?  ;)

Thanks,
--Michael
