CentOS - Feb 2012 - pdfmerge and ghostscript-8.70-6.el5_7.6.x86_64

Everyone,

It looks like pdfmerge is broken after the recent upgrade of gs to
ghostscript-8.70-6.el5_7.6.x86_64.  Has anyone else had this problem. I
have just started trying to debug it.  If any of you already have
solutions please let me know.

Thanks,

Greg Ennis

I am running pdfmerge witten by F.B. Casse, but it looks like microtronyx.com no
longer exists.
If any of you have any ideas I would sure appreciate your efforts.  The
module I need to get repaired takes a hp pcl file and converts it to a
tif file, and then single pages of the tif file, and then converts each
single page tif file to a single page pdf file.  pdfmerge then combines
all the pdf single page files into a multi-page pdf file.  
Everything has worked until the recent update of ghostscript.

I really need this to work so if any of you know who is supporting
pdfmerge or have other ideas please help.
