I changed that long ago (and I apologized).

You seem to say two things:

There is a bug with -P- (i.e. currently it does not work as documented
or expected). That is news to me: can you give references (bug number)?
In particular,
http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=691339#c2
implies that -P- works perfectly.

Also it suggests that bug 691355 is about getting -P- fixed. Certainly
not, 691355 is only about slapping -P- and -dSAFER on the scripts.

OK, will leave that to you.
