This is not only annoying, it is fatal! Thanks to Ulrik for pointing this
out.
Actually, I never tried with two arguments, I just found it on my
system and it worked for me.
I want to apologize for my untested publication of the script and hope, no
serious damage occured.
I rewrote the script, and this time also tested, so I hope the current
version will work without hazard to your data. (But, of course, no warranty)
(BTW: If you have eps2epsi and python on your system, using the variant from
the recent post of Kaspar Pflugshaupt might be the better choice, as
ghostscript renders included textstrings as bitmaps)
