Hi,
When running mgp on a presentation file that contains EPS file and mgp is
executed from a system command, then the invoked GS starts to eat memory
without any bound. Note that this happens only in the first time when
there is no cached image of the EPS file available.
For example, in python try
>>> import os
>>> os.system('mgp -g 800x600 epsbug.mgp')
and observe top.
I am using magicpoint-1.09a and GNU Ghostscript 6.51 on Linux.
Does anybody have any idea why the above happens? Any hints, suggestions
are most welcome.
Pearu
