Default

Your shell's resource limits might be below what ghostscript requires. The default class limits are set very conservatively. The staff class limits are higher, and both the default and staff class limits vary by architecture. The daemon class removes datasize and maxproc limitations:
Code:
daemon:\
    :ignorenologin:\
    :datasize=infinity:\
    :maxproc=infinity:\
    :openfiles-cur=128:\
    :stacksize-cur=8M:\ ...
See your /etc/login.conf and the login.conf(5) man page
