I think it is the time to revisit the proposed fix for
the bug 687066, "issue with open (font) file descriptors"
http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=687066

Here is the patch and follow-up discussion.

Further review process was postponed until the release of the new
version. Although the patch doesn't fix the root problem it covers
an practically important case.
