	I fixed this in CVS about a month ago, so it should be fixed in
the next release.

	Yuck.  Something is very wrong when the images are created:

Converting image #6
pstoimg: Error: "/usr/bin/pnmcrop -verbose  < /tmp/l2h3482/p3496.pnm | /usr/bin/ppmquant -floyd 256 | /usr/bin/pnmtopng -interlace -trans '#ffffff'  > img6.png" failed: Bad file descriptor

pstoimg: Error: "/usr/bin/pnmcrop -verbose  < /tmp/l2h3482/p3535.pnm | /usr/bin/ppmquant -floyd 256 | /usr/bin/pnmtopng -interlace -trans '#ffffff'  > img6.png" failed: Bad file descriptor

Error while converting image: 
Converting image #3

Anybody have any ideas?

	I have fixed this in CVS and the next time anybody checksout from
scratch the permissions will be fixed.  

	Thanks for the bug reports.

PS. Thanks for the unicode postscript patch.  I haven't had a chance to 
    look at it yet, but I will.

PPS. I have been away from my e-mail for a few weeks, so I have lots of 
     usual catchup.  Thanks for your patience.

PPPS.  I am going to release a new version of gEDA/gaf sometime before the
       Jan 7th 2006.
