   Since my first installation of tetex (on a PowerBook G3

   system recently, with the most recent distribution of the tetex
   binaries and it's still the same: when I run dvips, I get a
   segmentation fault (without any other information on the
   console). It's no big deal for me, as I almost never use dvips
   any more, but I was wondering whether anyone else has experienced
   the same thing.

It seems that one of your map/config files in the $TEXMF/dvips/
config directory has an unwanted character or line. I had a similar
problem with my dvips, the reason I found was an 'o' character in a
line in itself in a config file. When this line was removed, the
segfault disappeared. In my case it was easy to locate since I 
encountered segfault only when I do "dvips -Ppdf foo.dvi". 
config.pdf was the problem file.
