gs is ghostscript, the postscript processor. For some reason, it
occasionally keeps running, after it should be killed. When that happens,
the easiest way to deal with it is to simply kill it. Run top to get the
process id, and either kill it in top, or exit top and use
kill -9 pid
where pid is the process id number.
