Description:
when rendering math in an article, the browser window hangs indefinitely, waiting on a response from the server. While
this is happening, the following processes are owned by apache (in addition to the httpd processes):
./math/texvc /home/jelsas/public_html/wiki/images/tmp /home/jelsas/public_html/wiki/images/math C_r utf-8 sh -c convert -quality 100 -density 120 /home/jelsas/
public_html/wiki/images/tmp/30492_8e0e87530ca474ad4fe02b49f27a0e33.ps /home/jelsas/public_html/wiki/images/
math/8e0e87530ca474ad4fe02b49f27a0e33.png >/dev/null 2>/dev/null
convert -quality 100 -density 120 /home/jelsas/
public_html/wiki/images/tmp/30492_8e0e87530ca474ad4fe02b49f27a0e33.ps /home/jelsas/public_html/wiki/images/
math/8e0e87530ca474ad4fe02b49f27a0e33.png
Running texvc from the command line gives the following output until it hangs:
$ ./texvc ~/public_html/testing/ ~/public_html/testing/ 'a^x=b' iso-8859-1

at this time the same processes are hanging (texvc, sh, and convert). Several temp files are generated, ending with .dvi,
.aux, .log, .ps and .tex. The .ps file does look like the correct rendering of the formula, so I'm guessing the TeX/LaTeX
piece is completing successfully.
I'm using ImageMagick version 5.5.6 and MediaWiki version 1.3.9.
