(First contains discussion and sample files, second contains symbolic stack trace)

Ghostscript segfaults when trying to render the attached files, Apple-generated figures and a PostScript file generated by LaTeX with such a figure embedded.

It does not matter what the output device is, It was first observed by using the "ps2pdf" conversion utility but a simple

gs <file>

for output in an X window is enough.

Comment 4 Till Kamppeter 2011-09-24 08:38:44 UTC

The problem occurs on Ubuntu Oneiric (11.10) beta 2. Ghostscript is version 9.04.

Comment 5 Alex Cherepanov 2011-09-24 23:19:09 UTC

Our default build works.

Comment 6 Till Kamppeter 2011-09-25 09:03:18 UTC

Alex, can you try with Ubuntu Oneiric?

Comment 7 Alex Cherepanov 2011-09-26 14:13:36 UTC

The problem is reproduced in the current development version
by building it with SHARE_LCMS=1

Comment 8 Chris Liddell (chrisl) 2011-09-27 15:42:05 UTC

The problem is clearly in the stock lcms, and not in our supplied one, therefore it is not our bug.

Comment 9 Till Kamppeter 2011-09-27 19:49:35 UTC

The upstream lcms1 is not maintained any more, therefore my plan for Ubuntu 12.04 is to use lcms2 as shared library from the system.

Comment 10 Chris Liddell (chrisl) 2011-09-27 20:49:59 UTC

If you persist with the plan to use lcms2, you're doing so against our strenuous recommendation. Please do not report bugs with this configuration, make sure you first confirm the bug in a Ghostscript built with our supplied lcms1 code.

In fact, bugs should *always* be tested with all our supplied third party library code before being reported.
