Bug Description

In version 9.26, the following command worked as expected -- it produces a ppm file:

  $ gs -sDEVICE=ppmraw -q -r600 -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -dFIXEDMEDIA -sPageList=4 -o /tmp/raster.ppm vector.pdf

But in ghostscript version 9.53.3, that command produces no PPM file, and the terminal output is empty. That is, there is no error, warning, or indication of progress.

FWIW, the PDF in my tests was produced by LaTeX.
