I have seen the bug tracker follow-up been used for discussion on several
projects, but I don't mind using the mailing list - here I go:

Just some more comments:
> gs -dSAFER ../test/grfguide.pdf
is OK. 
> ./gv ../test/grfguide.pdf
isn't OK, while
> ./gv ../test/grfguide.ps
is OK. (Assuming "safer" is set in gv of course.) Is there any difference in
how we treat pdf vs. ps files?

The problem with opening pdf files in gv (with newer version of ghostscript)
has been reported for several of the Linux distros, but no fixes posted.
Googling around did reveal any more info about this problem.
