Created attachment 13272 [details] test.ps See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ghostscript/+bug/1653787 The poster of that bug writes: ---------- The following command never terminates, one CPU/thread up 100%: gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=test.pdf -f test.ps This is more or less what ps2pdf test.ps does. I have obtained this test case from an old debian bug report at the URL below, as I have originally encountered the problem with a *much larger* postscript file (214MB), which I've left running for 24 hours with no progress. I have attached both files. Both files (the small one and the large one) get read by gv and displayed perfectly on screen. Terminating the process with ctrl+c, output file is generated but contains no data. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=786827 ---------- File test.ps attached, see the Ubuntu bug report for the 214 MB manual.ps file.
