- is this reproducable, i.e. does it always crash in ghostscript, and at
  the same file?

- does increasing your datasize limit (see ulimit if you're running
  something like ksh or bash) fix the problem?

I'm asking because I'm doing the OpenBSD port of lilypond and
experienced some really ugly bugs when running out of memory (that's
a fault in either guile or lilypond, but not relevant here), and
during testing, I had at least one or two cases where ghostscript
ran out of memory, too.
