Comment 2 Ralph Giles 2006-08-02 18:44:29 UTC 
Reproduced with HEAD on MacOS X with the X11 device.

The PDF file is corrupt. Acrobat Reader 7.0.8 on MacOS X fails to render page 4
as well, warning about "a drawing error, likely caused by low memory". Like
Acrobat, Ghostscript can render the remaining pages if run again with -dFirstPage=5.
Comment 3 Ralph Giles 2006-08-02 19:31:28 UTC 
MacOS X Preview.app shows page 4 without complaint.
Comment 4 Alex Cherepanov 2006-08-02 19:41:59 UTC 
typecheck in --closefile-- happens when an image operator fails in
the PDF interpreter in the stopped context. I have a patch for the stack mix-up
but there's still an error in the image.
Comment 5 Ralph Giles 2006-08-02 19:47:25 UTC 
Alex, if your fix for the stack mixup allows Ghostscript to continue after the
image error, then it's appropriate to close this as a duplicate since the image
is damaged.

Judging from the behaviour of Preview.app there actually is image data in the
file, but we generally don't support damaged files where Acrobat also fails.
Comment 6 Alex Cherepanov 2006-08-02 20:39:57 UTC 
This may not be exact duplicate of the bug 688736 but the fix proposed there as
a comment 14 also solves this case.

Changing customer bugs that have been resolved more than a year ago to closed.
