Package: ghostscript
Version: 8.71~dfsg2-9
Severity: grave
Hi,
We're having problem with gs going into infinite loops when people print some
given
PDFs from CUPS, so after a few days you have fifteen gs processes that use 100%
CPU and the rest of your system doesn't really work too well.
The command line is:
gs -dFirstPage=1 -q -dBATCH -dPARANOIDSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=ijs
-sIjsServer=hpijs -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=612 -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=792
-sDeviceManufacturer=HEWLETT-PACKARD -sDeviceModel=HP\ LaserJet -dDuplex=false
-r600
-sIjsParams=Quality:Quality=0,Quality:ColorMode=0,Quality:MediaType=0,Quality:PenSet=0,PS:MediaPosition=7
-dIjsUseOutputFD -sOutputFile=/dev/null foomatic-IU6jZL
I am unfortunately not at a liberty to include the example PDF itself
(foomatic-IU6jZL) in the BTS, as it contains non-public information;
please send me private email for a copy.
This does not happen with upstream 8.71. If I build the package without
0940_Merge_gs_2_colors_branch.patch, the problem goes away and the job completes
in 5-6 seconds. It happens every time for me with this PDF and command-line
flags.

Dropped in the above version. You may want to consider pinning
wheezy's package or upgrading.
Best wishes,
Mike
