Thanks for reporting it. If anyone has time on a sparc, what might be
useful is
apt-get build-dep ghostscript
git clone git://git.ghostscript.com/ghostscript.git
cd ghostscript/gs
# configure to minimize features (hopefully speeding up build)
./autogen.sh -C \
--disable-fontconfig \
--disable-freetype --disable-cups --disable-gtk \
--enable-dynamic --with-system-libtiff \
--without-ijs --without-jbig2dec --without-jasper
make
# [2]
lib/ps2pdfwr /path/to/doc.ps
git show -s HEAD
If that reproduces the error, it could be reported at
http://bugs.ghostscript.com and I'd be glad to hear about it.
git bisect start
git bisect bad HEAD
git bisect good ghostscript-8.71
can guide through the bisection process afterwards to find the bad
patch (which is hopefully an underalignment problem or similar).
Any takers?
Jonathan
