True enough.  Here is a better solution:

cpu% diff -c /n/sources/plan9//sys/src/cmd/page/cache.c /sys/src/cmd/page/cache.c
/n/sources/plan9//sys/src/cmd/page/cache.c:151,156 - /sys/src/cmd/page/cache.c:151,159
  	Image *im;
  	int ra;

+ 	if(doc->npage < 1)
+ 		return display->white;
+
  	im = _cachedpage(doc, angle, page, "");
  	if(im == nil)
  		return nil;
cpu%

Sorry about that -- I'd forgotten about -i,
which has always been a hack.

I've submitted this as a patch.

It is unfortunately not related to
Greg Pavelcak's problems, which
I have not been able to reproduce.
The new page works fine for me in
drawterm.  That sounds like drawterm
is running out of image memory
somehow, but I don't see how, and
even if it did it should be behaving
more gracefully.
