Hi,
This "makes the package in question unusable by most or all users",
hence the severity.
pstotext appears to have been broken by ghostscript 9.22. This is me
attempting to convert an empty input.

Unrecoverable error: undefined in DELAYBIND
I tried a patch to add -dREALLYDELAYBIND to the gs commandline, but then
it fails with "Error: /undefined in NOBIND".
