NEW BUGS

#539239 - USER - should this terminate?

User reports:
Given the input '/null {clear} def', gs doesn't
terminate. Tested with 6.51, 6.52, 6.53.
Should it?
Same results on CVS HEAD.

#539327 - CUSTOMER - decreased performance with gs > 6.50

factor of 3-4 times slower with recent versions of
Ghostscript than with older versions.

#540871 - INTERNAL - Many compiler warnings from zfsample.c
reported by: lpd
assigned: dancoby

zfsample.c produces many compiler warnings, all easily
fixable.

#540975 - USER - rangecheck in .loadttf
assign: igorm?

Normally .loadttf works fine but with the TrueType font
Augsberg.ttf (which I got with Windows 2000) processing is stopped by
a readstring rangecheck error which indicates that it is
trying to read a zero length string. 

#541314 - USER - ps2pdf crashes with execstackoverflow
assign: igorm?

The Postscript file:
http://lanl.arXiv.org/ftp/exports/crash.ps.gz
crashes ps2pdf12 and ps2pdf13, with the error:
/execstackoverflow in --.systemvar--

#541856 - USER - no relative paths in safe mode
assign: rayjj?

The security enhancements in 7.04 do not allow relative
paths while in safe mode.
This may or may not be a bug. However, it does break
several existing applications such as xdvi.

#541871 - USER - compile problem
assign: giles?

User has problem building ghostscript on old system.

#541877 - INTERNAL - /invalidfont on Kozuka Mincho

HEAD. The font is Adobe's Kozuka Mincho Pro, which is
an OpenType font.
