I did some investigating in the changelogs, and saw that 228012
addresses this issue, which was closed in 1:41.3b-1.
Was the solution to the bug to simply comment out the display line in
a2ps.cfg? It appears the bug was closed by commenting out the line, and
removing the '-Pdisplay' functionality.
When you uncomment it, you get the error above. What is going on?
