You're dead right. The problem was with his libc (he had 5.4.7),
and for some reason the wrapper (gs itself is a wrapper that executes
/usr/bin/gs.real) didn't like that. It would dump with any two command
line options.
But I didn't seem to be able to mail these results back to him,
as:
$ telnet market1.com 25

i.e., his isp's mailserver's trial license expired! One more reason
for Debian...
