Today's ghostscript.x86_64 0:8.70-21.el6_8.1 update causes evince to refuse to display any postscript file. Running evince from a terminal session, I see the errors:
invalidaccess -7 invalidaccess -7 invalidaccess -7
** (evince:1252): WARNING **: Error rendering thumbnail
Downgrading to ghostscript.x86_64 0:8.70-21.el6 corrects the problem.
Anyone else seeing this?
Other Distros (e.g. SUSE) had the same problem.
In most cases it was caused by a "fix" in the file:
{usr/share/ghostscript_version}/Init/gs_init.ps
in the "/.locksafe {" segment, a ".forceput" was misplaced.
If you compare this file between the two ghostscript versions, it should become visible.
