[Bug 787067] Re: Apple-generated EPS figures in LaTeX-generated PS file cause Ghostscript to segfault

[Lars Uebernickel]

Attached is a small patch (hack), which sanitizes an internal lcms
struct to prevent this crash from happening. However, it writes an
incorrect color profile to the resulting pdf. Evince complains about
that on the command line, but renders all images (probably not in the
correct colors).

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ghostscript

  On Natty 64-bit, ps2pdf segfaults when converting LaTeX-generated ps
  files. I have tried running ps2pdf with no extra options, both as a
  standalone command and from within latexmk and rubber, with the same
  results.
