This bugreport seems to only really describe broken behaviour of c2esp.

Yes, it smells quite strongly of being _caused_ by some bug in 
ghostscript, but when only proven breakable in an environment created 
inside of c2esp, it seems more sensible to me that this bugreport is 
tied to c2esp rather than ghostscript.

@Didier: Since you reassigned this to (only) ghostscript, would you 
please consider re-reassigning to (only) c2esp instead?

Reason I ask is that ghostscript is now security-buggy in testing since 
a month, seemingly blocked only by this issue.  If reassigning does not 
seem sensible, then how about lowering severity (maybe only 
temporarily)?
