Description: bitcmyk produces 0 length output


Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.

Version: Ghostscript 8.64-1

Steps to reproduce: The most visible error this bug produces is when you print a color page with one of these printers : HP Color LaserJet 1500/1600/2600/CP1215, Samsung
CLP-300/315/600/610 etc., Xerox 6110 etc., Konica Minolta 2300 DL/2430 DL/2530
DL etc., Lexmark C500 . The result is a blank page or no actions from the printer.

Ghostscript 8.64 has a bug that is described here http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=690287 .
The problem generated by this bug is that isn't possible to print color pages on the affected printers.

I fixed this problem on my machine by recompiling via ABS ghostscript substituting the base/gdevbit.c file with a more recent revision from SVN.
This task depends upon
