This version is a little bit to old for using on 64bits I think, can
you upgrade gs please ? The last GNU release is 8.55 and a 8.56.0 will
be released soon.

Also What is the release of gs ? AFPL, ESP, GPL, GNU ?? The naming
scheme can be interpreted as esp-ghostscript and you are on the gnu
mailing-list for the GNU version of gs ;) But don't worry, the codebase
is very similar.

always interesting to found this type of bugs but please update your
version before more work can be done on this issue.
