This is confirmed to be in the 'pattern_accum_open' when it is trying to open a 32-bit deep memory device that is width=17291 height=28630. This corresponds to a pattern that is 48.03 inches by 79.53 inches (which is the entire page). This is another example of needing to handle 'worst case' patterns in some other way, either by creating a 'clist' representation of the graphics, or by executing the Pattern Proc repeatedly as needed to cover the path to be filled or stroked.

The revision 7861 processes test cases with no error. Here is the list of related patches : rev 7815, 7816, 7828, 7837, 7839, 7840, 7853, 7855, 7856, 7857, 7859, 7860, 7861. Rather it closes the bug, we recommend for the customer to wait for the next stable release.
I've verified that the current head process the attached file and all the files associated with the duplicate bugs without consuming large amounts of memory.
A slight correction to comment 11: The file "page 4 of the trouble ps." (sic) from bug 688774 produces a seg fault at 200 DPI and higher. However, ghostscript does not appear to consume a large amount of memory before crashing, so it's likely an unrelated problem.
Regarding to Comment #12 : What revision do you use ? Please try 7863. It closes another bug, which may be relevant to your crash. If 7863 crashes, please open a separate bug report with proper information how to reproduce the crash. Igor.
Leonardo, Comment #5 for bug 688774, which I've reopened, contains the information you requested in Comment #13. marcos
