Chuck,

Which compiler are you running?  I found that gcc 1.39 didn't cut it when
I compiled gs 2.5.2 some time back (same problem which you decribed, but
with different driver).  After I upgraded gcc things worked fine.


                                Hope this helps,

                                Larry
