I'm running -current of various dates but I have one reproducible
problem with ghostview 1.5:
When I run ghostscript on the file I appended, e.g.

ghostview zeus.eps

the disk starts heavily thrashing. Viewing the file with gs alone
works fine. The systems gets so busy that it is hard to get a foot in the
door to bail it out (^C in the xterm).

It looks a bit to me like libgnumalloc being the culprit.

The same behaviour (heavy disk activity ad nauseam) when doing a Find in
a (certain) document in netscape (v30b[56] and also 2.0x). I bet netscape
is linked against libgnumalloc as well.

If anyone wants to reproduce the problem I put up the file
zeus.eps to freefall/incoming.
