enscript(1) does its job, but seg faults at the end

[Kevin O'Gorman]

I've got an up-to-date 10.4.1 system, where the enscript(1) command even in
its simplest form ("enscript junk") works, gives me the expected printed
output on my default printer, but ends with a SEGMENTATION FAULT report.
File "junk" is just the fancy-printer script I use (drived from
enscript.hdr), trimmed down to 113 lines (any shorter and the seg fault does
not occur.)

The last few lines are
    %    %Format: name format
    %    Define  a  new  string  constant  name  according to the format
    %    string format.  Format string start from  the  first  non-space
    %    character  and  it  ends to the end of the line.  Format string
    %    can contain general ‘%’ escapes  and  input  file  related  ‘$’

I ran "strace -f -o es enscript junk" and got these lines at the end of the
output
(looks like a null dereference, or jump 0):

27862 open("/usr/share/locale/en.UTF8/LC_MESSAGES/enscript.mo", O_RDONLY) =
-1 E+++  NOENT (No such file or directory)
27862 open("/usr/share/locale/en.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/enscript.mo", O_RDONLY) =
-1 E+++  NOENT (No such file or directory)
27862 open("/usr/share/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/enscript.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1

27862 write(2, " sent to printer\n", 17) = 17
27862 --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---

WTF?
