This bug happens on my sparc box with every invocation of gs, even
without any arguments at all:
| [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gs
| GPL Ghostscript SVN PRE-RELEASE 8.61 (2007-08-02)
| Copyright (C) 2007 Artifex Software, Inc. All rights reserved.

| Unrecoverable error: typecheck in vmreclaim
| Operand stack:
| 0 --nostringval-- setuserparams --nostringval-- VMReclaim 0 -2048
-2048 VMReclaim 0
| Bus error
The strange thing is that when I recompile with -DDEBUG=1 neighter the gs error
nor the resulting bus error happen.
The bus error is just the "mark_name(names_index(nt, rptr));" in src/igc.c:975
with an rptr having an absurd high ->tas.rsize resulting in access of a 0x60
or similar NULL+offset pointer. (within gc_trace called from gs_gc_reclaim).
When running "gs -Z5" I get an segmentation fault in from fwrite in
gc_string_mark
at ./src/igcstr.c:171. No idea if that is a related problem or not. The string
it wants to output starts with
"\016\216.®\006\206&Š\f\214,¬\004\204$€ÎNînÆFæfÌLìlÄDäd>Ÿ\036".
Output is:
| GPL Ghostscript SVN PRE-RELEASE 8.61 (2007-08-02)
| Copyright (C) 2007 Artifex Software, Inc. All rights reserved.
| This software comes with NO WARRANTY: see the file PUBLIC for details.
| [5]marked 0x7a786[256](Segmentation fault
Is there some -Z output that would be intresting? I tried -Z4689 because that
are debugflags found in igc stuff, but that leads to 48M of output, and as
the bug does not happen, I don't know if its so intresting to post it.
Hochachtungsvoll,
Bernhard R. Link
