Bug#429599: gv: cannot zoom more than 10x

[Ron <iampure@gmail.com>]

Package: gv
Version: 1:3.6.2-4
Severity: wishlist

I have a large PS file, about 10m^2 big when zoomed to a level for appropriate viewing, I guess, but I can only zoom 10 times, so I cannot see the image now. The logical solution would be to remove the GUI limitation of zooming only 10x. I know there is a command line option, but when I view my file in the following way: 
$ gv -scale 1 myfile.hs 

, all I get is a white screen. This is not equal to just doing gv myfile.hs, which is odd to say the least. The latter can be interpreted as a bug.
