I have been getting reports of Ghostcript crashing on some cairo generated PDF files. Adobe Reader and Poppler display the same files correctly with out errors. I can not see anything obviously wrong with the PDF files so it appears it may be a Ghostscript bug.
Created attachment 5495 [details] inkscape.pdf PDF file that crashes ghostscript.
Created attachment 5496 [details] gnome-report-2009-Q2.pdf Another PDF file that crashes ghostscript.
Looks like yet another manifestation of the x11alpha driver failing with transparent PDF files. The PDF works fine on GS under Windows, and using the X11 device, fails as described with the x11alpha device. See #689150, #689734, #690813 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 689150 ***
