[Pkg-hpijs-devel] Bug#503468: hpijs: gs segfaults after printing "unable to read client data err=-2"

[martin f krafft]

Package: hpijs
Version: 2.6.10+1.6.10-3etch1
Severity: normal

CUPS invokes gs to print to a HP LaserJet as follows:

  gs -sstdout=%stderr -dBATCH -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=ijs \
    -sIjsServer=hpijs -r300 -sDeviceManufacturer=HEWLETT-PACKARD \
    -sDeviceModel='HP LaserJet' -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=595 \
    -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=842 -dDuplex=false \
    -sIjsParams=Quality:Quality=0,Quality:ColorMode=0,Quality:MediaType=0,Quality:PenSet=0,PS:MediaPosition=7 \
    -dIjsUseOutputFD -sOutputFile=%stdout -

On some files, this segfaults:

  GPL Ghostscript 8.54 (2006-05-17)
  Copyright (C) 2006 artofcode LLC, Benicia, CA.  All rights reserved.
  This software comes with NO WARRANTY: see the file PUBLIC for details.
  unable to read client data err=-2
  [1]    2187 segmentation fault  gs -sstdout=%stderr -dBATCH -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=ijs  -r300

Using -sDEVICE=pdfwrite instead of ijs works. Thus I think this is
a problem with the ijs server.

I've tried restarting the hplip service.

Please find attached a PDF file. Use pdf2ps to produce a PS file and
use that to reproduce the problem. The PDF file is a lot smaller
than a bzipped PS file, and it can be fed to ghostscript without
causing the segfault, thus this may be of interest.

If needed, I can also provide debug and strace data, but since it
should be reproducable, you probably don't need those in the bug
report.
