Dear all,
I don't know if this is a bug of gv (could be something else) and I
have not investigated the problem further, therefore I did not file a
bug report.
There is actually a minor bug in GNU gv, but there is another one in the
MacPorts gv package: "/opt/local/share/gv/safe-gs-workdir" is not
created at install time.
Because of the missing "/opt/local/share/gv/safe-gs-workdir" a temporary
directory is used, and handling this temporary directory has a minor bug
(but normally the above directory should be present, so this bug is
really minor!).
Anyway, the attached patch should fix the minor bug in GNU gv.
