Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gs-esp
The new gs-esp package in Feisty (8.15.4.dfsg.1-0ubuntu1) eats up all
system resources when asked to load a missing font. Here is a short
example:
$ gs
GS>\SomeBogusFontName findfont
Can't find (or can't open) font file
/usr/share/gs-esp/8.15/Resource/Font/SomeBogusFontName.
Can't find (or can't open) font file SomeBogusFontName.
Querying operating system for font files...
After this, the system becomes instable and the swap use goes through
the roof. And then it freezes completely.
System information:
Linux xxxxx 2.6.20-15-generic #2 SMP Sun Apr 15 07:36:31 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
** Affects: gs-esp (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
