Bug#323867: option -q doesn't work as it should

[Sandor Geller <sandor.geller@balabit.hu>]

Hi,

I think I encountered the same problem yesterday with the version in
sarge (7.07.1-9):

The problem is that gs-esp called with -q and -sOUTPUTFILE=- still
writes several messages to stdout, so the output is garbled.

The "bonus" lines are:

%%[ ProductName: ESP Ghostscript ]%%

as the first line of the output, and

%%[Page: substitued_by_number_of_pages]%%
%%[LastPage]%%

as the last two. This verbosity causes severe interoperability problems
with programs, so I think the severity of this bus should be raised.

Regards,
