[bug-pcl] Problem with big PCL file

Wed Jun 28 00:36:23 PDT 2006

Hi,

We use ghostpcl with success since one year.... 

But now, we are generating some pretty big file (more than 37000 pages) 
and we are experiencing some problems.

So I've compiled it with debug enabled to send a bug report on this list.

We hope that someone have an idea about what is wrong.... or 
perhaps a woraround (To specify something about allocating memory 
on the command line for example )

The command we use... (Sorry, I cannot give you the pcl, it is financial 
data)

#pcl6debug -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=/cdoracle/fic.pdf 
w17096.pcl 
/sysapp/opensource/bin/pcl6debug[5]: 2961514 Illegal instruction(coredump)
