+    ps2write - modify Lab space handling<br>
+<br>
+    Commit 9e58cc8dd7e9b98620c798c901f800aff2e381ce improved the handling of<br>
+    /Separation spaces with an Lab alternate space.<br>
+<br>
+    However, it also altered the handling of Lab spaces as the base space<br>
+    for patterns, or the initial space. This caused a small difference in<br>
+    release testing.<br>
+<br>
+    The result was incorrect previously, and after the above commit, but the<br>
+    commit made it appear worse from a user's perspective. Until we can<br>
+    get time to properly convert Lab base spaces into a device space, return<br>
+    the code to its prior state. This does not affect the improvement to<br>
+    Separation spaces.<br>

+<p>
+    Bug #699684 &quot;gs segfaults in refset_null_new when processing malformed file&quot;<br>
+<br>
+    It is possible for a specifically malformed Binary Object Sequence to<br>
+    run out of data to process (and return to refill the buffer) when it<br>
+    had read *exactly* the maximum number of objects declared in the top<br>
+    array.<br>
+<br>
+    This meant that the 'index' pointing to the next expected array entry<br>
+    to be filled in actually pointed past the end of the array.<br>
+<br>
+    We then called a routine to set the unused entries in the array to null<br>
+    objects (for GC purposes), using the index. Because it pointed past the<br>
+    end of the array this led to the count of objects being -1. The code<br>
+    then counted down the count, until it reached 0, while at the same time<br>
+    writing null objects past the end of the array.<br>
+<br>
+    This commit simply checks the index against the array size and doesn't<br>
+    attempt to fill it in if its less than that value. Note that the array<br>
+    index is 0-based, hence &lt; not &lt;=.<br>
