The attached customer file fails with: **** Warning: File has insufficient data for an image. Error: /typecheck in --closefile-- rendering to the tiff24nc device a resolutions above 420 dpi (original report was for -r600) Even at 600 dpi this shouldn't be over 1 GB of data. Complete command line: bin/gs -Ilib -I../fonts -dSAFER -dBATCH -sDEVICE=tiff24nc -sOutputFile=10439r600.tiff -r600 10439.pdf It renders correctly at lower resolutions. On 8.53 the error is different: /ioerror in --.inittransparencymask-- Setting -dMaxBitmap higher makes it work for larger -r values, but it eventually fails even with -dMaxBitmap=500000000. The effect is similar in HEAD.

I ran this both locally on my Mac (OSX 10.4.9) and on peeves (Linux) with the command line specified. The file ran to a normal completion without any errors or warnings. I got a complete and valid tiff file that is 949174292 bytes in size both times. Please double check that this bug happens with the latest sources. If it does... we may need to look closer at the specific environment it is running in when the problem occurs.
I've verified that gs8.56 fixes this problem. I was able to duplicate in under Mac OS X with a release of Ghostscript from 04/2006.
