<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>problem:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have an application that I wrote some time ago
that uses the post script sax handler, H4PS it think. Periodically, and
what would seem randomly, it stops. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My logging code shows without doubt that the line
which causes the problem is the following one.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>exist=ps.put_image(imgname,type);</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>background info:</FONT></DIV>
<UL>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>The xep files may be quite large, a number
megabytes - a concatenation of several smaller ones.</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>Note that the image being rendered always
exits. </FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>It may stop on one image at one time and
yet at another there is no problem with the same image.
</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>It does seem to happen on certain machines
more than others.</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>On the installation where the problem is most
pronounced the JVM is 1.3.1, the OS is NT</FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>4sp6a.</FONT></LI></UL>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>solutions:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is there a simple solution to the problem, is it
known? </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>The application runs on xep
2.21</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Are any of the following available</FONT></DIV>
<UL>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>It there a more reliable psLib
implementation?</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is there away to shut down the psLib after a
timeout so I can automat a job restart?</FONT></LI></UL>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sincerely </FONT></DIV>
