[9fans] ghostscript suicide while ps2pdf

["C .Stuelpner" <teenageriot@gmx.de>]

Hello,

I'm getting the following suicide message from /bin/gs when I'm trying
to convert postscript to PDF (/rc/bin/ps2pdf). pdf2ps doesn't work
also - same error.

 gs 27690: suicide: sys: fp: invalid operation fppc=0xd52cd
status=0xb8a1 pc=0x000d4fc8

 acid: src(0xd4fc8)

  556	        return 1;
  557	    }
  558	    /* We displace the sampled coordinates very slightly */
  559	    /* in order to reduce the likely number of points */
  560	    /* for which the spot function returns the same value. */
 >561	    if ((code = gs_point_transform(penum->x + 0.501, penum->y +
0 .498, &penum->mat, &pt)) < 0)
  562	        return code;
  563
  564	    /* find the spot center in device coords : */
  565	    sx = ceil( pt.x / 2 ) * 2;
  566	    sy = ceil( pt.y / 2 ) * 2;

Some posting on this list around 12th of May mentions a change of
kill.c in /sys/src/ape/lib/ap/plan9 as an error source. But even if I
revert to the old version of kill.c, re-compiling ape stuff, it
doesn't work.

Has anaybody a work around or better, a solution for this problem?
