Thanks for reporting it.  If anyone has time on a sparc, what might be
useful is

        apt-get build-dep ghostscript

        git clone git://git.ghostscript.com/ghostscript.git
        cd ghostscript/gs
        # configure to minimize features (hopefully speeding up build)
        ./autogen.sh -C \
                --disable-fontconfig \
                --disable-freetype --disable-cups --disable-gtk \
                --enable-dynamic --with-system-libtiff \
                --without-ijs --without-jbig2dec --without-jasper
        make

        # [2]
        lib/ps2pdfwr /path/to/doc.ps

        git show -s HEAD

If that reproduces the error, it could be reported at
http://bugs.ghostscript.com and I'd be glad to hear about it.

        git bisect start
        git bisect bad HEAD
        git bisect good ghostscript-8.71

can guide through the bisection process afterwards to find the bad
patch (which is hopefully an underalignment problem or similar).

Any takers?
Jonathan
