I grabbed the ghostscript files from prep 2 days ago and compiled them today.
I ran gs on the file book1.ps from my local host (sun 3/50, SunOS 3.5, X11R3)
and it drew a picture of some shaded curved pie slices. I then ran the
program remotely on another sun (3/160, same filesystem, no screen) where it
proceeded to dump core. Other X11 programs run just fine under the same
conditions. (to prove it to myself I proceeded to run xterm, emacs and a few
other things from the same shell - all worked).
Here is the stackdump from gdb:

Apparently GS must be giving some bad parameters to XOpenDisplay but I can't
figure out what could be different for ghostscript on the two machines.
