Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gs-esp
I try to print a simple PDF file (using the document viewer). Using
"top", I clearly see a binary named "gs-esp" eating all the memory. The
computer becomes quite sluggish until Linux's OOM killer at last kills
the process when all the swap is exhausted. The entry stays in CUPS in
"stopped" state, I only can remove it.
I updated my Feisty box this morning (7:30 French time).
BTW I only had similar problems in edgy, but only when thying to print a
photo with gthumb. The workaround was to use Gimp but it's not a long-
term solution. But if I cannot even print a simple PDF sheet it gets
quite serious.
** Affects: gs-esp (Ubuntu)
