Package: gs-gpl
Version: 8.01-4
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/gs-gpl

gs (called from kghostview) has been crashing in a lot of PDF files here
lately. I tested calling it by hand, using one of the PDF files that
crashed
(http://www.plosbiology.org/archive/1545-7885/2/5/pdf/10.1371_journal.pbio.0020146-S.pdf)

gs -sDEVICE=x11 -dSAFER 10.1371_journal.pbio.0020146-S.pdf
works

gs -sDEVICE=x11alpha -dSAFER 10.1371_journal.pbio.0020146-S.pdf
crashes while rendering page 1:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

but the stack seems to be corrupted:

#0  0x080d7a6e in jpeg_mem_term ()
#1  0x080d7a74 in jpeg_mem_term ()
#2  0x080d7a74 in jpeg_mem_term ()

(and goes on for more than 1000 frames)

This breaks kghostview with antialiasing enabled when trying to read the
PDFs with this problem.
