This bug has reappeared in more recent versions that I have tested in i386 and AMD64:
     8.61.dfsg.1-1ubuntu3
and the one that comes with the beta release of Intrepid:
    8.63.dfsg.1-0ubuntu4

I have compiled version 8.63 from the upstream sources, and it does not have this bug.
The problem is that a lot of packages depend on ghostscript and its shared library, which
makes it painful to have to recompile everything. David Munro has discovered a hack (including
a -dSAFER option) but still, it would be nice to have a regular working version in Intrepid.
