I have confirmed this with a private reproducer. However, I am marking this as
Won't Fix because:
1. Requires malicious code to call gs_main_init_with_args() multiple times. The
gs binary itself does not do this, so it is safe.
2. checked rdepends on libgs8, libgs-esp (for multiple calls to
gsapi_init_with_args, which calls gs_main_init_with_args())-- only okular from
kde4graphics calls it, and does so once per instance
3. if the user has the ability to compile and run malicious code, there are far
worse things that could be done
