Problem seems to be solved from Ghostscript 9.16 on as it only happened
with 9.15. 9.16 is used in Wily (15.10), so an upgrade to this Ubuntu
version will most probabvly fix it.

The problem happens only with the "cups" output device of Ghostscript.
Assuming the bug being there, we could look at the changes of the "cups"
output device from 9.15 to 9.16. There is only one and this one is even
a crasher fix:

http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;a=commitdiff;h=7d97b54d767627d1d88ea026c3d3accd11cb670f

One could think this has solved it, but it does not really fit to the
backtrace in the error tracker. So one would even need a reproducer for
this bug so that one can try with and without the mentioned fix or one
needs contact to the contributors of the error reports (there is no
Launchpad bug report about this problem) to let the contributors doing
tests.

I will not do an SRU as I am not sure whether the mentioned fix helps
and I also do not have a reproducer and/or someone to test and verify
the SRU. Closing ...
