I've got a freshly-updated cygwin distribution, using sigunix.crwu.edu's mirror.

For reasons I can't understand, ps2pdf silently produces no output.  For 
example:

bnoble AT BNOBLE-TABLET ~/my-documents/pedigree
$ ls  
CVS       prop.bib  prop.log  prop.tex
prop.aux  prop.dvi  prop.ps   prop.tex.~1.1.1.1.~

bnoble AT BNOBLE-TABLET ~/my-documents/pedigree
$ ps2pdf prop.ps prop.pdf

bnoble AT BNOBLE-TABLET ~/my-documents/pedigree
$ ls
CVS       prop.bib  prop.log  prop.tex
prop.aux  prop.dvi  prop.ps   prop.tex.~1.1.1.1.~

I've tried reinstalling the three ghostscript packages, to no avail.  strace 
cannot seem to start the process, again for reasons I don't understand.  Any 
advice about where to start looking?

Cheers,
-b
