Also:

DEBUG: PNG image: 48x48x8, color_type=6 (RGB+ALPHA)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

This happens with the half-dozen image files I have tried. It did not happen with the cups-filters package prior
to this one.

Regards,

Brian.

Otani-san, the cups-filters package used here contains your recent bigger patches on the PDF filters to update the code copied from Poppler. It seems that that has introduced a segmentation fault in imagetopdf. Can you check and fix that? Thanks.

Otani-san, sorry, imagetopdf was not affected by your patch. Your patch is OK so far.

I have found the cause of the segfault. A fix is on its way.

Note that the problem does not occur in the normal print work flow, as there is always a correct PPD file defined. Your manual calls do not define a PPD file and this makes the filter crash.

Considering I had spent an hour or two on this earlier today it was very remiss of me not to have
tested with a PPD file defined in both command lines. Had I done so maybe I would not have
reported a bug. I find it convenient to use cupsfilter to batch process text and image files so let
the failure of imagetopdf cloud my judgement.

Thank you.

Brian.
