Could you try to reproduce with unstable version?
Package: ghostscript
Version: 8.71~dfsg2-9
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/pdfopt
I was trying to compress a PDF file generated from my HP/Scanner. The file is reported as:
$ pdfinfo

Producer: ImageMagick 6.6.0-4 2012-05-02 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org

Pages: 1
Encrypted: no
Page size: 611.76 x 841.44 pts
File size: 1715008 bytes

This PDF makes pdfopt crashes with:

There is one easy way to reproduce with any PDF generated by imagemagick:
$ sudo apt-get install imagemagick
$ convert -size 611x841 xc:white test.pdf
I am attaching test.pdf to this bug report, just in case.
Thanks
