Description FilQ 2011-06-25 04:54:52 UTC 
The attached PDF is causing ghostscript to run indefinitely hugging CPU.
Ghostscript is called from ImageMagick convert to convert the PDF to PNG.
Please advise on how to fix it.

On current code (9.03 pre-release master) the file completes quickly (a couple of seconds). You haven't supplied a command line for us to use, so I tried:

gs -sDEVICE=png16m -sOutptuFile=\temp\out.png UABC2011_002.pdf

You claim to be using Ghostscript 8.70, if this is true I would suggest upgrading to something more recent as the most likely way to resolve this. If the problem persists then please reopen this bug, and supply a command line which exhibits the problem.
