Okay, the failing part is gs coming from gs-gpl. .getdeviceparams gets called 8 times, 7 times with correct types, one time with wrong. I did some checks with recompiles of libpng and gs-gpl, nothing changed. Now I decided to try again with gcc-3.4. Rebuild of libpng does not change anything, rebuild of gs-gpl "fixed" the problem. Also it is "fixed" by a rebuild with -O0 of gs-gpl. Because of this, I think it is some sort of undefined behaviour in the gs-gpl code or misscompilation. The same problem applies to gs-esp.
