Bugger. didn't russ? anyway, you haven't told us what architecture you have, how much ram, how much hard disk space available and what time of day you're running the command at (don't ask, sometimes it matters)... back in the day ghostscript linking would panic a machine with no swap turned on and only 64MB of ram, but those days are long gone, right? right?!? i mean, i haven't had a need for a swap device since 2002! what is that beastly node on which you must have a kernel compiled, and why can't you just run plan9 in qemu on your main machine?
