[Bug 1647917] Re: Invalid access when opening eps with ghostscript 9.19~dfsg+1-0ubuntu6.2 and libspectre 0.2.8

"invalidaccess -7" looks like a failure of Ghostscript.

I tried to open the .eps file directly with Ghostscript and it gets
correctly displayed. So I do no know how evince uses Ghostscript and so
I cannot report an upstream bug in Ghostscript.

What I need is the data which evince feeds into Ghostscript and the
Ghostscript command line which is used. If I can reproduce the
Ghostscript failure by calling Ghostscript directly on the command line
I can report an upstream bug to alert the Ghostscript developers about a
possible regression caused by the security update. The Ghostscript
developers could also easily determine whether the output of current
libspectre is valid input for Ghostscript, if you provide an appropriate
file.
