Description Johannes Meixner 2005-08-29 12:09:06 UTC

On nelson.suse.de (i386) where a plain beta3 is installed:

jsmeix@nelson:~> rpm -q ghostscript-library
ghostscript-library-8.15rc1-25


jsmeix@nelson:~> rpm -q --changelog ghostscript-library | head -n 4
* Mon Aug 15 2005 - mfabian@suse.de

- Bugzilla #104656: Fix for Ghostscript to render vertical
  Japanese correctly again.


jsmeix@nelson:~> gs -q -dBATCH -dPARANOIDSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE \
                    -sDEVICE=lips4v -sOutputFile=/dev/null \
                    /usr/share/doc/packages/ghostscript/examples/colorcir.ps 
*** buffer overflow detected ***: gs terminated
Aborted



On caps.suse.de (x86_64) where a newer ghostscript-library is installed:

caps:~ # rpm -q ghostscript-library

Comment 3 Dr. Werner Fink 2005-08-29 12:43:43 UTC

The strace does not help in this case.

Comment 4 Johannes Meixner 2005-08-29 12:54:46 UTC

What would help you?

Comment 5 Dr. Werner Fink 2005-08-29 13:07:56 UTC

In this case of an overflow I've to debug the lips4v driver to catch
the wrong usage of the new color mode interface of gs 8.15.

Straces are usefull to catch missing files or files which were missed
by gs but installed.

Comment 6 Dr. Werner Fink 2005-08-29 13:19:36 UTC

Hmmm ... within my change root environment I see:

g31:espgs-8.15rc1 # bin/gs -q -dBATCH -dPARANOIDSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE \
-sDEVICE=lips4v -sOutputFile=/dev/null \
/usr/share/doc/packages/ghostscript/examples/colorcir.ps
g31:espgs-8.15rc1 # 

simply nothing.

Comment 7 Dr. Werner Fink 2005-08-29 13:23:27 UTC

OK on caps I see:

/suse/werner> gs -q -dBATCH -dPARANOIDSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=lips4v
-sOutputFile=/dev/null /usr/share/doc/packages/ghostscript/examples/colorcir.ps
*** buffer overflow detected ***: gs terminated
Abort

but

/suse/werner> tmp/gs -q -dBATCH -dPARANOIDSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE
-sDEVICE=lips4v -sOutputFile=/dev/null
/usr/share/doc/packages/ghostscript/examples/colorcir.ps
/suse/werner> 

... strange.

Comment 8 Dr. Werner Fink 2005-08-29 13:46:18 UTC

It seems that libgmodule for OMNI was not linked with the new generated gs.

Comment 9 Dr. Werner Fink 2005-08-29 14:25:22 UTC

Hmmm .. even if libgmodule is linked in and the same CFLAGS are used
the gs binary get from command line in the change root environment
is different as the binary generated from the build comand in
the same change root environment ....

Comment 10 Dr. Werner Fink 2005-08-29 15:16:29 UTC
