konqueror crashed with SIGSEGV in psgetpagebbox()

[Laurent Claessens]

I opened 6 ps files at once in tabs when the crash occurred. I retried 3 times, each time, I got a crash.

After tests, each of these files can be opened separately in tabs.

This is a problem with the libspectre ps rendering library.

Can you please open those PS files in Okular and see if this bug occurs?

If any of those PS files causes Okular to crash, please attach them to this bug report. Thanks!

I'm sorry I didn't keep these ps (ps2pdf rocks ;) ) I got a try with other ones, but I didn't got a crash anymore; however I upgraded to Konqueror 4.2.2 in the same time.

I let you know if I see that bug again ... and next time I keep the buggy ps file.

Thank you for replying.

(Setting this "Invalid" because the bug cannot be reproduced.)
