I have an .ai file (created by Adobe Illustrator). Both acroread and gv shows it correctly, but pdf2ps results in gs segfault: (gdb) bt #0 0x5510b32f in art_pdf_composite_knockout_8 () from /usr/lib/libgs.so.7 #1 0x5510c682 in art_pdf_composite_knockout_8 () from /usr/lib/libgs.so.7 #2 0x551071c6 in gs_begin_transparency_group () from /usr/lib/libgs.so.7 #3 0x55106836 in s_zlib_free () from /usr/lib/libgs.so.7 #4 0x550c49be in gs_errorinfo_put_string () from /usr/lib/libgs.so.7 #5 0x550c2e22 in gs_interpret () from /usr/lib/libgs.so.7 #6 0x550c2cd9 in gs_interpret () from /usr/lib/libgs.so.7 #7 0x550b9e44 in gs_main_init1 () from /usr/lib/libgs.so.7 #8 0x550ba990 in gs_main_run_string_end () from /usr/lib/libgs.so.7 #9 0x550ba862 in gs_main_run_string_with_length () from /usr/lib/libgs.so.7 #10 0x550ba7ba in gs_main_run_string () from /usr/lib/libgs.so.7 #11 0x550bce94 in gs_main_run_start () from /usr/lib/libgs.so.7 #12 0x0953cea8 in ??

Hmm, lots of pointers there seem to be 0xff but really can't be (like main's argv). I wonder if rebuilding with optimization disabled (-O0) would help make this clearer.
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.
Still there in ghostscript-7.07-33
Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you!
I do not remember which .ai file was causing this problem, so I am closing the bug. If I ever hit it again, I'll reopen (or file a new one) and will try to remember attaching a sample .ai.
Thank you very much.
