For the reasons yuv stated, this is a bug. I'm using a python library which called ghostscript just fine before this update, but now doesn't work thanks to this new behavior. I'm sure most users don't want to spend the time editing any applications which call ghostscript in order to make them work with the new version.

Unrecoverable error: stackunderflow in .setdistillerparams Adding -dUseCIEColor to the command line seems to fix the problem, however this should not be and might be a symptom of a bug in the code where variables that used to be initialized in previous version are no longer.
