Hi Mathgroup About two days ago I sended a message to support at wolfram.com and to the mathgroup [mg25928]. Where I reported a Mathematica "feature" (there are now bugs (-; ) During Export["!emmathfnt > /home4/andre/eps/filename.eps", graphname, "EPS"] Mathematica crash's with the error message: ****************** error message 1 ************************* Floating exception. ************************************************************ If I print this graphic to a postscipt file or printer with: File > Print Selection > Mathematica crash's with: ************************* error message 2 ******************* Mathematica has received the signal: SIGSEGV and has exited. If possible, please report this problem to support at wolfram.com describing in in as much detail as possible what you were doing when the problem occurred. [1] Segmentation fault mathematica ************************************************************** Now I saved this "critical" picture with: Save[workdir <> "killerpic", ba1u6full]; So one can Load it with <<killerpic If you test it with Show[ba1u6full] you will see that it isn't so complicate. But attention, we tested other Mathematica versions and the Mathematica crash's during the Show command. But if Mathematica is still there, you can make a test with the two possibilities descript above. It crash's only for my Mathematica4.0 version for Digital True 64 UNIX with 1.280 MB main memory and 500 MHz clock speed. It works well on a PC-Linux and Windows System (unfortunately not installed at one of my Computers) Do you have any answer for this strange behaviour of the "primitive" OS True64 Unix ???
