- Has anyone noticed strange behavior with the -r switch in
- Ghostscript??? I was playing around with it today and I ran gs -r450
- on a postscript file (meaning render at 450 dpi). The X server
- started sucking up memory like a dry sponge and the system eventually
- when down when X had about 2/3 of the paging space (about 41Mb out of
- 64Mb).
