example .ps file that can be printed by a2ps but can't be displayed by gv

I do realise that printing to .ps file is less popular than printing to .pdf and using gv to view .ps file is rarely performed nowadays, so the bug touches small group of user. Nevetheless, I think it's worth to notify about it.

- firefox has ability to print content of a web page to file
- two formats can be selected: binary .pdf and plain-text .ps
- sometimes ability to keep things in plain-text is precious
- both .pdf and .ps file "printed to file" by firefox can be further printed by a2ps command
- acroread can easily display (and print) .pdf file "printed to file" by firefox
- gv can't display .ps file "printed to file" by firefox
- using strace I found that gv forks gs process that fails with SIGSEGV
- gv can display .ps files from other sources, however, many of these files have messy bitmap images (vector graphics seem to look ok) - this did not occur say a year ago, so I consider it as a regression caused by one of upgrades
- I tried a2ps of such faulty .ps file to the new .ps file, still gv can't display the new .ps file
- using gdb with "set follow-fork-mode child" I was able to obtain following backtrace:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Er, so what else is wrong with your system? We still would need to know the version.
Comment 5 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-06-04 17:08:54 UTC
Also, I can't reproduce this with the attached example.
Comment 6 Paul Osmialowski 2014-06-04 17:39:37 UTC
I waited bit longer and here it is:

$ emerge -vpq app-text/gv
[ebuild   R   ] app-text/gv-3.7.3-r1  USE="xinerama"

- same as at the end of first post for this bug...
- this is very busy system sometimes and disk I/O of this whole portage database is awful, shouldn't it get some proffessional SQL backend (postgres, mysql, firebird) one day?

Do you still have this problem with current ghostscript ?
Comment 9 Paul Osmialowski 2017-02-12 00:26:11 UTC
