Well, we were messing with it a few hours ago with Brion,
seems like we must have broken something.

Brion: what exactly have you done ?

Exactly what you told me to: uncommented the lines in render.ml which
delete the no-longer-needed temp files, recompiled texvc, and installed
the new binary. After that, you tested it and assured me it worked. :)

Now checking... in the error_log, I see:

This is dvips(k) 5.86 Copyright 1999 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com)
' TeX output 2003.05.12:0359' ->
<texc.pro>. [1]
dvips: Problems with file writing; probably disk full.

But, the disk is *not* full. Permissions on the tmp and math dirs look
okay. I get .tex, .aux, .dvi, and .log files in the temp dir... Putting
render.ml back as it was, no change.

Advice? (I'm sitting in #wikipedia...)

TeX is also broken on meta, which I did *not* touch.
