Ghostscript hanging when printing from Kmail

[Steve Cooper <stevencooper@isomedia.com>]

I'm running a Woody system.  I'm not sure when the problem started, 
but at some point I stopped being able to print from Kmail.  The CPU 
gets pinned and I notice a "gs" process that never exits.  Of course 
the printer (HP LaserJet 4L) doesn't even blink.  If I kill "gs" 
(have to be root) the CPU calms down.

I assume that some Ghostscript configuration entry got zapped 
somewhere along the line.  But I don't know where to look.  My guess 
is that the wrong command-line arguments are specified to "gs", and 
maybe it's waiting for input, or something (?).

TIA,
Steve
