Description Eric Ding 2006-02-02 18:23:59 UTC
ghostscript-afpl 8.53-r1 aborts with certain PS files because of a known bug that has been fixed in their development trunk, which may not see the light of day as an official release for some time.  See

     http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=688422

Perhaps Gentoo's ebuild incorporate the patch workaround as posted at

     http://ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-cvs/2005-December/005834.html

Thanks for considering this.
