You could really help us so much if you found the time
to also post the Ghostscript bug URL so that we could
directly understand what exactly you are talking about.

I guess you meant
http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=693551

I another mail you wrote that you are "on SuSE Linux SLES11SP4".

Why don't you use my readymade ghostscript RPMs from
the "Printing" project in the openSUSE build service
which I intentionally also provide for SLE11
(as far as possible with reasonable effort)
for direct plain RPM package download below
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Printing/

Cf.
https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/Printing
--------------------------------------------------------------
The main intent of the "Printing" project is
to provide the newest kind of base printing software for
upcoming openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise versions
and at the same time with same priority to provide the
same newest base printing software also for as many
released openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise versions
as far as possible with reasonable effort.
--------------------------------------------------------------

When you use - as far as possible for you - the packages
from the openSUSE build service "Printing" project,
I could even help you much better and much more easily
because then I could much better and much more easily
reprocude what happens on your system because I could
install the same packages on my system and see whether
or not I could reprocude your issue on my system.

What I am interested in is to learn in advance about
issues with our (i.e. SUSE's and openSUSE's) software
so that when one of our paying customers reports those
issues then I may already know about them, perhaps I
already know a workaround or ideally I already know a fix.

In contrast when you use your own kind of software on
your systems, I am not really interested how that fails.


Kind Regards
Johannes Meixner
