Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ghostscript
This bug is similar to #160203. It happens with Hardy
ghostscript-8.61.dfsg.1-1ubuntu3.
With the attached gsbug0.ps postscript file,
> gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=bbox gsbug0.ps
%BoundingBox: 0 0 0 0
%%HiResBoundingBox: 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000
> gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dSAFER -dBATCH -sDEVICE=bbox gsbug0.ps
%BoundingBox: 168 345 489 666
%%HiResBoundingBox: 168.200010 345.158005 488.450024 665.350011
That is, the bbox result depends on the -dSAFER switch. With -dSAFER, it gives
the correct value,
while without -dSAFER, it gives the wrong value. Needless to say, bbox output
should have
nothing to do with -dSAFER.
The bug happens with a wide variety of different postscript files, not just
this stripped example.
I don't know what fraction are "fixed" by including -dSAFER.
