Comment (by wilya7):

 I am using emacs org-mode for a project and I have to use a lot of Latex.
 With this bug it is impossible to do a preview of latex code as it uses
 **convert** utility, which with ghostscript 2.27 fails due to this bug.
 Therefore I had to downgrade to ghostscript 2.26. Now that I did that,
 everything works! I followed the procedure outlined here:
 [https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/InstallingOlderPort]

 Briefly, this what I did (for other noobs like me):


 {{{
 cd
 mkdir git
 cd git
 git clone --single-branch https://github.com/macports/macports-ports.git
 cd macports-ports
 git checkout b79b19f8fe80d5e804eee9c62fd73a2ac980f82a
 cd print/ghostscript
 port install
 }}}

 I hope that ghostscript developers manage to track down this bug. I cannot
 understand how this does not affects more people!
