   I'm frantically preparing my dissertation, and hit a snag with a picture I
made myself.

   I'm getting a "stackoverflow" error when I print the picture on
my LaserJet III printer, but have no problems viewing the picture on my
workstation.  How do I force GhostScript to use a smaller stack (same size as
the printer, obviously) so I can reproduce the error on my workstation and
debug the darn thing?  I definitely want to debug on the workstation because
it renders the picture in only a couple minutes instead of the 45 minutes or
so the printer takes.
