Hello Netters.
The following ps program coredumps in gs 2.5.2 under AIX 3.2.2:
%!PS-Adobe-1.0 
gsave 
 newpath 200 200 100 0 270 arc
 0 0 0 setrgbcolor stroke
 showpage 
grestore 

When I replace 270 with something smaller than or equal to 90,
everything works fine. dbx says the following:

segmentation violation in arc_add at 0x100283f8
0x100283f8 (arc_add+0x34) 83c40078          l   r30,0x78(r4)
(dbx) t
arc_add(0x10028778, 100, 200, 0.0001, 100, 200, 100, 300) at 0x100283f8
arc_either(0x10028778, 100, 200, 0.0001, 100, 200) at 0x10028024
gs_arc(0x10028778, 100, 200, 0.0001, 100, 200) at 0x10027ca8

Any comments?
