Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ghostscript
When I print an image from GIMP, I notice nothing unusual in the cups
error, access, or page logs, however 'gs' eats up all available memory
within seconds, and then starts swapping. It brings my machine to it's
knees. After about 30 seconds I am able to kill it from a 'top' window
I leave running. The normal SIG_TERM (15) is able to kill it without
resorting to SIG_KILL (9)
After killing the process I get the expected line in /var/log/cups/error_log:
E [29/Sep/2008:22:42:29 -0700] PID 13471 (/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip)
stopped with status 9!
E [29/Sep/2008:22:42:29 -0700] [Job 211] Job stopped due to filter errors.
I am running the latest Intrepid updates from today (09/29/2008)
** Affects: ghostscript (Ubuntu)
