The patch (and analysis) is incorrect. Some printers don't support setting the page \
using numeric values but a small set of special purpose operators. The table look-up \
checks whether there is a predefined page size operatot to set this page size. When \
there is no such operator, "null" indicates that the page size should be set using \
numeric method.

The patch makes Ghostscript ignore the page size of the document and use US Letter \
size for any non-standard document. This is clearly wrong.

Probably, most users would prefer to fit non-standard pages to the paper size.
However, for the printers with expensive media, a PostScript error is
preferable.
