Bug Description
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:
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.

I am going to go ahead and set the 'block-proposed' tag since we don't want zesty to break when ghostscript is updated next there.
