Package: gv Version: 1:3.6.1-10 Severity: normal
If you use gv to view a PDF file, and that PDF file has a full pathname, e.g. gv /tmp/flyer.pdf and then use the drop-down box to change the zoom factor, the gs interpreter crashes with the following message: Execution stack: %interp_exit .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- false 1 %stopped_push 1 3 %oparray_pop 1 3 %oparray_pop 1 3 %oparray_pop 1 3 %oparray_pop .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- Dictionary stack: --dict:1051/1123(ro)(G)-- --dict:0/20(G)-- --dict:74/200(L)-- --dict:100/127(ro)(G)-- --dict:230/230(G)-- Current allocation mode is local GPL Ghostscript 8.01: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1 and then if you try to set the size back to 1.0, you just get more of the same: Execution stack: %interp_exit .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- false 1 %stopped_push 1 3 %oparray_pop 1 3 %oparray_pop 1 3 %oparray_pop 1 3 %oparray_pop .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- Dictionary stack: --dict:1051/1123(ro)(G)-- --dict:0/20(G)-- --dict:74/200(L)-- --dict:100/127(ro)(G)-- --dict:230/230(G)-- Current allocation mode is local GPL Ghostscript 8.01: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1 Error: /invalidfileaccess in --file-- Operand stack: (/tmp/flyer.pdf) (r) Execution stack: %interp_exit .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- false 1 %stopped_push 1 3 %oparray_pop 1 3 %oparray_pop 1 3 %oparray_pop 1 3 %oparray_pop .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- Dictionary stack: --dict:1051/1123(ro)(G)-- --dict:0/20(G)-- --dict:74/200(L)-- --dict:100/127(ro)(G)-- --dict:230/230(G)-- Current allocation mode is local GPL Ghostscript 8.01: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1 Similar things happen when you try to change the paper size and orientation. However, if when launching gv you do: cd /tmp gv flyer.pdf then everything works fine. However, the bug is still effective if you do cd /tmp gv /tmp/flyer.pdf so it's the presence of a pathname on the command line that causes the bug, not the value of the current directory. Incidentally the bug does NOT take effect if you do cd / gv tmp/flyer.pdf so it must be the leading / that is causing a problem. I have tested this on different PDFs and it is consistent. The bug does NOT manifest itself with PostScript files, only with PDF files. This bug was not present on Woody's gv. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.23 Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_GB) Versions of packages gv depends on: ii gs 8.01-5 Transitional package ii gs-gpl [gs] 8.01-5 The GPL Ghostscript PostScript int ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libice6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libsm6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Window System Session Management ii libx11-6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Window System protocol client li ii libxext6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxmu6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Window System miscellaneous util ii libxpm4 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X pixmap library ii libxt6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Toolkit Intrinsics ii xaw3dg 1.5+E-8 Xaw3d widget set ii xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Keyboard Extension (XKB) configu -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
