[gs-devel] gs vs CID fonts in pdf 1.4

[James H. Cloos Jr.]

I've more info.  I've now tried cvs head (as of about 30 minutes
before this post's date) and got the same invalid font error from the
acroread-generated ps.  But I get a segv from the pdf itself.

The stack trace shows:

#261890 0x401b148e in __libc_start_main () from /lib/libc.so.6

#261872 0x080de17f in bbox_fill_mask ()
#261871 0x080deaf4 in bbox_forward_add_rect ()

followed by another 261870 lines of 

        0x080deaf4 in bbox_forward_add_rect ()

I presume it recursed until it ran out of stack....

8.00 also dumps core, but 7.05.6 gets a /rangecheck in --string--
error and dies more gracefully.
