Hello!

Docview seems to fail with PS and PDF files here (Mac OS X 10.5.8,  
Tiger, PPC hardware), as mentioned in the subject. It displays an  
rectangle of, say 20x30 pixels or four chars times 2.5 lines in xft:- 
unknown-Monospace-normal-normal-normal-*-13-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1. In  
*Messages' buffer I can see:

	Type C-c C-c to toggle between editing or viewing the document.
	View mode: type C-h for help, h for commands, q to quit.
	Type C-c C-c to toggle between editing or viewing the document.
	Not a PNG file: `/var/folders/.../docview501/File.ps- 
b4cd9ad434063d4d803055fb67b74f81/page-1.png'
	PNG error: Read error [13 times]
	(Shell command succeeded with no output)

The file command, invoked in *shell* buffer, tells:

	/var/folders/.../docview501/File.ps-b4cd9ad434063d4d803055fb67b74f81/

interpreter is used: gs 8.71.

Hello!

This seems to have been caused by a time-out due to high CPU usage by  
another process. Today it seems to work reliably.
