Okay, the failing part is gs coming from gs-gpl.
.getdeviceparams gets called 8 times, 7 times with correct types, one
time with wrong.
I did some checks with recompiles of libpng and gs-gpl, nothing changed.
Now I decided to try again with gcc-3.4. Rebuild of libpng does not
change anything, rebuild of gs-gpl "fixed" the problem. Also it is
"fixed" by a rebuild with -O0 of gs-gpl.
Because of this, I think it is some sort of undefined behaviour in the
gs-gpl code or misscompilation.
The same problem applies to gs-esp.
