You have compiled the GPL ghostscript from svn (from ghostscript.com) with
gcc-4.3 (devel stage 2) and you post the result on GNU ghostscript list,
very nice :)

I can't do nothing for you, I've not this code of ghostscript (in devel
repository, so it's normal to have bugs I think ;)) and not use a stage 2
devel of gcc to compile ... I think you have all the parameters to have a
segmentation fault ! ;)

You need at first to use a stable version of gcc (4.2).

Sorry, you are alone on this case and your report need to be posted on
ghostscript.com bugzilla (http://bugs.ghostscript.com/) instead of GNU
one.

Best regards and good luck on this bug !
