Title:
  pdf2ps produces broken PostScript output on the attached PDF file

Status in GS-GPL:
  Fix Released
Status in ghostscript package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ghostscript source package in Oneiric:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Bug originally reported by Sven Meier as a comment on bug 419143,
  created a new bug report here as it is a different problem and we want
  to issue an SRU for Oneiric.

  Convert the attached PDF file to PostScript with

  pdf2ps REC10889-2-printout.pdf

  Then try to display the resulting file with

  gs REC10889-2-printout.ps

  Output is as follows:

  ----------
  till@till:~/ghostscript/testfiles$ gs REC10889-2-printout.ps 
  GPL Ghostscript 9.04 (2011-08-05)

  GS produces a blank page at first and then a page with the text:

  ----------

  This happens with Ghostscript 9,04 on Ubuntu Oneiric (11.10).
