It appears that if you view a ps file which has ^Ms at the end of each line with ghostview-1.4, it works fine for the first read, but if you try and re-read the file once again, it cheerfully dumps core. I noticed this when I tried to push MS-DOG Matlab output through it. Once cleared of the offending ^Ms, however, everything's back to normal. The moral of this story is: MS-DOG files don't belong on UNIX systems; they tend to leave droppings.
