Bruno, thank you for testing the GS release candidate. I haven't looked 
into the problem in detail yet. After a quick test, it seems that 
DELAYBIND isn’t working properly for some reason. When calling GS on the 
command-line, e.g. like this

   gswin64c -dDELAYBIND -dDELAYSAFER venn.ps

the release candidate quits without doing anything. Previous releases 
process the PS file and display the rendered image. Perhaps that's a 
result of another security measure but I would consider this a bug.

dvisvgm doesn't work correctly here because it requires DELAYBIND.

Best,
Martin
