PS- ghostscript on my system (gentoo Linux) recently updated: on Jan 31st
to 9.20-r1. Can anybody else check and see if they encounter the same issue
with that version of ghostscript? Trawling back through old github issues
and forum archives shows a number of times over the years where a
ghostscript update changed some part of the code and Lily wasn't yet
adapted. For the record, I'm running Lilypond-2.19.54-1, 64-bit.
