No problems with ghostscript-9.53 (after https://github.com/vectorgraphics/asymptote/issues/176)

thanks a lot for your valuable work

What version of asy are you using? I can't reproduce this. The following works fine for me using bbb1ed004e0962870889e85cf37b3b5ce0ef961b:

cd doc
../asy -dir ../base -gs=/usr/local/src/ghostscript-9.54.0-linux-x86_64/gs-9540-linux-x86_64  -config "" -render=0 -f pdf -noprc CAD1.asy

apologies: I have tried to build with a ghostscript-9.54.0 from archlinux and it works (with asymptote master)

Since I install ghostscript from source, most probably the problem is somewhere in my installation script for gs (that script has worked for ages, though)

Thank you very much for taking the time to look into this: I now have a definite direction to go for fixing things
