Created attachment 118482 [details]
the input that causes the segfault

this is the "clisp.dvi" file that causes the crash

Comment 2 Tim Waugh 2005-09-06 08:43:17 UTC
I cannot reproduce this problem on Fedora Core 4 with ghostscript-7.07-40.  What
does 'type gs' say?

Comment 3 Sam Steingold 2005-09-06 15:02:40 UTC
gs is /usr/bin/gs
dvips is /usr/bin/dvips

maybe it's dvips that is crashing?

Comment 4 Tim Waugh 2005-09-06 15:15:12 UTC
What does this say?: "rpm -V ghostscript tetex-dvips"

Comment 6 Tim Waugh 2005-09-06 15:50:25 UTC
Your libgs.so.7.07 has changed since install.  Any idea why that might be?


Comment 7 Sam Steingold 2005-09-06 15:57:57 UTC
no.
i reinstalled both ghostscript and tetex-dvips and now they work fine.
I am scared - why could they have changed?!
I am now running "rpm -V -a"...
