Public bug reported:
I use Kubuntu Feisty 7.04 (upgraded from a Kubuntu edgy) on Intel(R) Pentium(R)
M processor 2.00GHz,
1GB RAM, 2GB swap
When reading a Scilab-generated eps file with gv, kghostview or
epstopdf, gs-esp fails to output anything and my computer slows down in
an unacceptable manner (At least one minute to get a konsole and to kill
the process. The situation is better when I launch the process with the
lowest priority) and my hard drive makes noise (it seems that gs takes
at least 700MB of virtual memory, a bit impressive for a 100kB file).
If you need one of this file, I can send one of them.
Choosing the gs-gpl alternative solves the problem., but it is not the
default gs in Kubuntu.
I don't know whether it is the right place to report this bug. Please
let me know.
Regards,
Fr Ch
