---------------
ghostscript (9.19~dfsg+1-0ubuntu6.6) yakkety-security; urgency=medium
* REGRESSION UPDATE: Fix for CVE-2017-8291 broke pstoedit when using
DELAYBIND feature (LP: #1687614).
- debian/patches/CVE-2017-8291-regression.patch: return false rather
than raise error when .eqproc is called with parameters that are
not both procedures; correct stack underflow detection.

Bug description:
After the last ghostscript udpate I have problems with the textext
inkscape plugin that uses pstoedit that uses ghostscript.
The command looks like this:
pstoedit -f plot-svg tmp.pdf tmp.svg -dt -ssp -psarg -r9600x9600 -pta
The error (short version):
Error: /invalidaccess in --run--
Current allocation mode is global
Last OS error: No such file or directory
Current file position is 87896
GPL Ghostscript 9.18: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1
PostScript/PDF Interpreter finished. Return status 256 executed command :
/usr/bin/gs -q -dDELAYBIND -dWRITESYSTEMDICT -dNODISPLAY -dNOEPS -r9600x9600
"/tmp/psinsRrD8m"
The interpreter seems to have failed, cannot proceed !
See the attached log for the full text.
I tried to downgrade to circumvent the issue but unsuccessfully.
