For GV (and ghostview) a memory deivce is used. The problem is now that most time the width and height of the memory device is not identical with the xdev device its self. Also extrem large bbox can lead to problems on systems with less physical memory.
Created attachment 5156 [details] ghostscript-8.61-x11.dif This patch avoids these two problems.
There is a related bug 690444 (and patch) and the two should be reviewed together.

Confirm and re-assign bugs with attached/in-line patches for another person to review.
