Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-gv

When using gnome-gv to view the attached eps file, gs ends up locking up the whole system if left long enough, using up all available system memory.

I'm using ESP-GS version 815.04.

I know this probably should be reported to gpl-gs or esp-gs upstream, but I don't have the patience to register on their sites to do it, and just want to make sure that this bug is logged somewhere... (I don't know why we can't report bugs for gpl-gs or esp-gs in launchpad...)

It seems that I can't add attachments on the initial report of a bug. Hopefully I can after it has been reported...
