Public bug reported: 1. Install the latest Ubuntu security update for ghostscript (since this does not appear to have been released for zesty, it is a bit easier to do this from Ubuntu 16.10 than from 17.04).
2. Install libspectre1 0.2.8-1 (from zesty or zesty-proposed). 3. Open a .eps with Evince, Ubuntu's default viewer for eps files. Here's a test file: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libspectre/+bug/1348384/+attachment/4171120/+files/countrate.eps What happens: The .eps fails to display. If run from a terminal, this is output: invalidaccess -7 Earlier version of libspectre (I tested Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.10) still handle the test .eps file ok.
