error in log file

[Richard Zimmerman]

I am using a2ps 4.13 with ghostscript on my FreeBSD 4.2-release system.
I try to use lpr -Plp file and it doesn't work.  I looked in the log file
for the printer and it says:
a2ps gethostname cannot allocate memory
Error code 1 Stop

I'm not sure what this error means, I have plenty of memory free, and i
don't think i am having any problems with my hostname.  As the /etc/hosts
file is in order.  I am not sure what to do.

System is
Freebsd 4.2-release
printer HP laserjet series II  512k memory, running at 150*150dpi gs driver
pII 333  440bx board


if anyone has any information, i would appreciate it

thanks
