Tested with Ghostscript 9.09rc1 in Saucy and here the crash is fixed.
There is an error message:
till@till-twist:~/ubuntu/ghostscript$ ps2pdf toc.preview.eps
GPL Ghostscript RELEASE CANDIDATE 1 9.09: ERROR: A pdfmark destination page 4
points beyond the last page 1.
upstream claims works for me, but the respective mails don't indicate
that they actually ran ps2pdf (rather than just gs) on the supplied test
files. Even if they did, it would appear that the core dump is seen due
by Ubuntu specific stack protection options.
That makes it likely that upstream
Here is a much smaller file triggering the core dump. Run ps2pdf on it.
My guess is that it tries to print an error message but the formatting
of the error message is done to insufficient or unallocated memory.

Title:
Crash with __fortify_fail ***buffer overflow detected***
Downgrading to ghostscript 9.06 (last version from Quantal) along with
dependencies and putting it on hold did the trick for me:
hi ghostscript9.06~dfsg-0ubuntu4 i386
ii ghostscript-x 9.06~dfsg-0ubuntu4 i386
ii libgs9
An independent tester has corroborated that the problem occurs for a
default Raring Ringtail installation with the i386 package. Several
testers have reported that the amd64 package is not affected.
Downgrading to 9.06 solves the problem.
