[Magick-bugs] -page A4 gives wrong BoundingBox for PostScript

[Harald Koenig]

quick update:

I've tested ImageMagick-6.1.0-1, and it still shows the same bug
with image position in PS output when converting from jpeg to PS:

	turtle ImageMagick-6.1.0-1 > convert  rose.jpg ps:/tmp/PS
	turtle ImageMagick-6.1.0-1 > grep BoundingBox /tmp/PS
	%%BoundingBox: 0 0 2240 3303
	%%HiResBoundingBox: 0 0 2240 3303
	%%PageBoundingBox: 0 0 2240 3303

	turtle ImageMagick-6.1.0-1 > convert  -page A4 rose.jpg ps:/tmp/PS
	turtle ImageMagick-6.1.0-1 > grep BoundingBox /tmp/PS
	%%BoundingBox: 0 -2460 571 -1618
	%%HiResBoundingBox: 0 -2461 571 -1619
	%%PageBoundingBox: 0 -2461 571 -1619

	turtle ImageMagick-6.1.0-1 > convert  -page A4+0+0 rose.jpg ps:/tmp/PS
	turtle ImageMagick-6.1.0-1 > grep BoundingBox /tmp/PS
	%%BoundingBox: 0 -2460 571 -1618
	%%HiResBoundingBox: 0 -2461 571 -1619
	%%PageBoundingBox: 0 -2461 571 -1619
