Description Ken Barr 2003-07-15 19:10:08 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030701

Description of problem:

When trying to view the attached file with gv, I receive the error included
below.  The same error appears when doing a ps2ps.
 
I'm able to read this file on my rh-7.2 machine, so I tried downgrading the rh9
machine to rh7.2 versions of gv and gs.  No help!  Clearly some other library on
rh9 is at fault?  I've also attached the output of LD_DEBUG=files. 
Unfortunately, it looks like there are about 20 potential rpms which may be at
fault.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ghostscript-7.05-32.1 ?

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
ps2ps CSE-TR-111-91.ps output.ps
OR
gv CSE-TR-111-91.ps

Actual Results:  Error: /stackunderflow in --astore--

Current allocation mode is local

GNU Ghostscript 7.05: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1


Expected Results:  file should convert or display correctly (as it does when
viewed on a redhat-7.2 machine)

LD_DEBUG output showing scary set of dependent libraries

setenv LD_DEBUG file ;	ps2ps CSE-TR-111-91.ps output.ps
Comment 3 Ken Barr 2003-07-15 19:40:39 UTC 
should mention that gv doesn't crash on all .ps files (eg, I can view something
created by mozilla's print-to-file), just files like the one attached.
Comment 4 Alex Cherepanov 2005-03-07 11:33:24 UTC 
I cannot reproduce this in any version of Ghostscript on my system
compiled from sources. I don't have exact versions of the Red Hat system
to test the binary RPMs.

I can get the system  and RPM's to test the report if there's
any interest to close this issue on the Red Hat side.

Seems to be fixed in FC3.
