I can't reproduce this (I tried on an amd64 mostly-sid system with ghostscript and libgs8 8.71~dfsg2-9 and cups and libs 1.4.4-7+squeeze1). Any ideas? If no other obvious ways to make progress come up, here are some hints: - Please provide a PDF file and exact command line to reproduce it on a machine without the SLP driver installed. (The instructions would have to include installing the SLP driver if that's the only way to reproduce it.) - If you look at "dmesg" output, does it say which DSO segfaulted? - Rebuilding ghostscript with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS='debug nostrip' and getting a backtrace by running gs with "gdb --args" as described at [1] would also be helpful. - Anyone who can reproduce this can take over what I was going to try, which is finding the patch that fixed the problem at git://git.ghostscript.com/ghostpdl.git using "git bisect".
