[hylafax-users] Problem while converting documents

[Christoph Andreas <candreas@optimal-online.de>]

I'm running the binary distribution of HylaFAX v4.1beta2 under SuSE
Linux 6.4 with gcc 2.95.2 and libtiff 3.5.4-83. When I try to fax a
document which needs to be converted (f.i. Postscript-file or
tiff-file), the faxq-process establishes a child-process which converts
the first page and then hangs (it also hangs after converting if I want
to convert only one page). The system runs further and I may send
further faxes, but the child-faxq-process finishes only, when killtime
expired.
The appropriate (last) line in /var/log/messages looks like this:
...FaxQueuer [####]: Job ## (.....): CONVERT DOCUMENT: bin/ps2fax ....

If I run ps2fax from the commandline, everything works fine [except that
I may not use ';' in filenames, cause these are misinterpreted by the
shell].
If I try to fax a document which doesn't need conversion, everything
works fine, too.

Thanks in advance for your help
Christoph.
