Now, after the upgrade I have also the 900 MB print job files. I have
looked into the file and the pages are uncompressed, hex-encoded 3x8-bit
color bitmaps, the least efficient way to store images in a file. For me
the file prints, with updated version even on the selected printer, but
page selection does not work and it takes around 15 minutes until the
first sheet (double-sided => 2 pages) comes out.

The real bug here is the inefficient way of Flash creating print jobs,
even straight sending of the job to a PostScript printer without filters
and CUPS takes ages. I have tried it and it took at least five minutes
for the first sheet (double-sided => 2 pages) to come out. Second sheet
is another five minutes and third another two minutes.

My Ghostscript version is the same as yours, 8.70.dfsg.1-0ubuntu3.

My box has 4G RAM and 5G swap.

Your crashes of Ghostscript can be due to missing resources (RAM, disk
space).

The bug is in the Flash Player upstream.
