Package: gv
Version: 1:3.6.1-10
Severity: normal


If you use gv to view a PDF file, and that PDF file has a
full pathname, e.g.

gv /tmp/flyer.pdf

and then use the drop-down box to change the zoom factor,
the gs interpreter crashes with the following message:

Execution stack:
   %interp_exit   .runexec2   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   2   %stopped_push   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   false   1   %stopped_push   1   3   %oparray_pop   1   3   %oparray_pop   1   3   %oparray_pop   1   3   %oparray_pop   .runexec2   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   2   %stopped_push   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   --nostringval--

Current allocation mode is local

and then if you try to set the size back to 1.0, you just
get more of the same:

Similar things happen when you try to change the paper size
and orientation.

However, if when launching gv you do:

cd /tmp
gv flyer.pdf

then everything works fine.  However, the bug is still
effective if you do

cd /tmp
gv /tmp/flyer.pdf

so it's the presence of a pathname on the command line that
causes the bug, not the value of the current directory.
Incidentally the bug does NOT take effect if you do

cd /
gv tmp/flyer.pdf

so it must be the leading / that is causing a problem.  I
have tested this on different PDFs and it is consistent.
The bug does NOT manifest itself with PostScript files, only
with PDF files.  This bug was not present on Woody's gv.
