I have to admit I haven't fixed anything, but the 9.06 source fails as 
described, and the current code doesn't. I could bisect the source to 
find when it was fixed, but that would take a while.

Ah, good question. Ghostscript is held in a Git repository. Unless you 
really want to get involved I'd suggest you probably don't want to get 
that.

Instead you can go to :

http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;a=summary

click the 'commit' link on the most recent entry in the log. From the 
page which comes up press the 'snapshot' link. This should deliver you a 
tarball (if I remember correctly) of the current source.

Unpack it somewhere convenient, run ./configure and make. Its possible 
that snapshot may deliver the entire ghostpdl source (I don't remember 
I'm afraid) In which case you need to do ./configure and make in the 
ghostpdl/gs sub folder.

Its the most recent release. THe stuff in Git is the absolute most up-
to-date code. THere is some small risk attached to taking it, but its 
small. Every commit is run through our regression test suite (some 
50,000+ tests)
