When I invoke ghostscript (2.1.1) with the -Z option I get the following
(edited) output followed by a "Floating point exception - core dumped".
The program was compiled under Esix Rev D with the standard C compiler
(i.e. not gcc).  Can anybody explain this output to me and/or give me pointers
on how to fix this?  BTW, I'm not linking with the X libraries, I only
want to support the HP DeskJet.  Any answers?  Thanks in advance.
