Well, you could try running the same program in the same version
if you want to satisfy my curiosity as to whether the number following
the name of the executable (whose significance is a mystery to me)
would then be the same, 1892. But that might be difficult as you
presumably weren't running ≥ 2.19.49 last year but would be now.

Don't know. I kind of doubt it. You could try setting the target to PS
instrad of PDF and then take a look.

No idea. What are the benefits for making any change needed?

What problem. You haven't diagnosed the problem yet.
My crystal ball is not clear enough to see the source code
that's giving this problem. All I've seen is an error message
identical to the one from last year.

Cheers,
David.
