In a word - Haa (no offense intended)
What you are asking for is a bug-free postscript interpreter.
I suppose one could take the attitude that postscript is
whatever Adobe says it is and therefore by definition one of
their postscript chips is it - do you buy that?
The problem is that Postscript isn't a simple, straight forward,
context free language like Perl (humour intended) - it must be
interpreted. There's not even any assurance that it's internally
consistent.
If you find one let us all know.
