acroread 7.0.8 linux generated ps file, printing ok on the oki B6200 (with a Adobe licensed interpreter) (from the pdf file http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=688764) but crashes ghostscript with Error: /VMerror in --.imagemask1-- VM status: 2 2510418 3919704 Current allocation mode is local Last OS error: 2 Current file position is 930133 AFPL Ghostscript 8.54: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1 file to follow
Created attachment 2309 [details] ps test file, gzip'ed ps file, gziped, which have the imagemask VM error.
Created attachment 2310 [details] page 4 of the trouble ps. Single page (Page 4) of the test file. gs 8.54 dies on this with: Error: /VMerror in --.imagemask1-- VM status: 2 2326277 3741224 Current allocation mode is local Last OS error: 2 Current file position is 962844 AFPL Ghostscript 8.54: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1
Created attachment 2311 [details] The same page 4, just printed with different options. (Just for reference, probably irrelevant) This is the same page 4 printed from acrobat reader, except selecting "level 3" rather than the default "level 2" (attachment 2310 [details], the trouble ps, was printed with the default level 2).
should still test this when 688396 is resolved to make sure it was a duplicate and reopen if not. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 688396 ***
With r7864 the /VMerror no longer occurs, however at 200DPI and above on my 64 bit Linux box Ghostscript core dumps when converting "page 4 of the trouble ps." to a ppmraw file.

Further testing shows that the core dump I reported in comment 5 may be limited to 64 bit Ghostscript. The same command line (gs -sDEVICE=ppmraw -sOutputFile=test.ppm -r300 ./page4.pdf) worked on my G5 iMac (it took 40+ minutes, but that's a different issue). On my AMD64 Ubuntu box it core dumps after 23 minutes.
Returning to support because I don't have 64 bits until July.
Current revision (8994) processes the sample file quickly and correctly as tested on 64-bit Darwin x86, 32-bit Darwin x86, 32-bit Linux x86, and 32-bit Windows x86.
