The above problem is caused by your workstation running out of memory.
Interleaf requires a minimum of 25MB of swap space to avoid this problem.
This may be related to the PostScript generation code. When I created a
document in Interleaf using graphics and imported raster images, the
postscript file generated was almost 3MB for one page and took the Apple
LaserWriter II 18 minutes to process. The same page in FrameMaker took up
about 400k and less than 5 minutes to print.
