can you please report this upstream to bugs.ghostscript.com and post the link here? Where is this 8.55 release? I cannot find it, sorry
sorry, mea culpa. their main page lists 8.54 as the current release. the current stable release page lists 8.53 as the current release. and their bug reporting system goes up to 8.55, so I assumed that it exists. /iaw
please take a look at http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=688721 the nice folks at AFPL have made some fixes, which hopefully resolve this. if you offer a new build, is there a way to offer an ebuild that builds this with a "-g" switch, so that if I still get a segfault, I can tell the folks over there more? PS: I am just trying to help. alas, I am not a hacker, so my knowledge is very, very limited. regards, /iaw
ok, they fixed it. here is what is needed: Replace sizeof(int) to sizeof(*a) in the file gxfcopy.c, line qsort(a, cfdata->num_glyphs, sizeof(int), compare_glyph_names); regards, /iaw
thanks, fixed in -r1
