I have a problem with ghostscript on my FreeBSD system. It is a
386DX-25 with 8M ram and a 80387. When I use ghostscript, I get
wierd results. For example, the results from one of the sample
images, escher.ps, produces some curves that arc off the page.
Also, when viewed with ghostview, that image comes out in
black and white instead of color.
My kernel has the GNU math emulator compiled in and if I boot
with '-c' and disable the math-co everything works just fine.
If I boot DOS and run Intel's diagnostics, it reports that
everything is fine.
Any thoughts?
Dave
