Hi Colin,

Thanks for your additions to this bugreport!

 I'm affected by this bug too with some of my eps files.
 Any update on this?

Yes there is a potential update: Since this bug was reported, a newer 
9.02 release have been packaged and is now in Debian unstable. It 
includes an addon package with debug data, and also contains some 
Debian-specific bugfixes related to color management library linkage.

So please try with 9.02 and tell if the problem persist there.  If it 
does, then please install the ghostscript-dbg package and post a gdb 
trace here to the bugreport.  Please also include the EPS files that 
trigger the bug and the gs command which triggers it.


Kind regards,

 - Jonas

 Hi Jonas,
 I would love to test that out but I'm running testing.
 Do I have to resort to apt pinning to try it out as it is only on 
 unstable?
 Thanks.

Pinning is one approach, yes.  Another is to only temporarily subscribe 
to unstable and pay close attention to which packages gets installed 
when requesting to update the ghostscript package (use aptitude in 
fullscreen mode rather that apt-get!).  A thir aproach is to download 
and install using dpkg.

If all of those feel scary, then there is the option of waiting until it 
enters testing :-)
