Package: dvi2ps
Version: 4.1j-3
Severity: important
Whenever I run dvi2ps, it immediately crashes, producing this output:
---quote---
@(#)dvi2ps (j-version) 4.1j
Prescanning Segmentation fault
---unquote---
and a log message like:
kernel: [8971046.561510] dvi2ps[12166]: segfault at 21 ip b7dc31bb sp bffda46c
error 4 in libc-2.9.so[b7d4c000+15a000]
where some of those fields vary; the invariant parts are:
kernel: [..............] dvi2ps[.....]: segfault at 21 ip b7dc31bb sp ........
error 4 in libc-2.9.so[........+15a000]
This happens even for trivial input, for example, with foo.tex containing:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
hello, world
\end{document}
I then produce foo.dvi with either 'latex foo' (from texlive-latex-base)
or 'jlatex foo' (from jtex-bin). Either way, 'dvi2ps foo' crashes.
