Bug#703212: texlive-binaries: dvips crashes if input and output files are the same
Package: texlive-binaries
Version: 2009-8
Severity: minor
Hi,
If I run: dvips -oFILE.dvi FILE.dvi, this results in segfault.
Though not for any file. Example:
$ latex /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/base/sample2e.tex > /dev/null
$ dvips -osample2e.dvi sample2e.dvi

I realize that this is a minor problem, but in principle,
good program should never crash. For example, gcc does not crash this way.
