Hello all,

With macOS 12.2, I'm getting failures with (close to) dev. TeXworks when 
I try anything using shell escape/piped input. For example, with input

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphics}
\begin{document}

\includegraphics{example-image-a.eps}

\end{document}

and example-image-a.eps copied to the working dir., I get error

!!! Error: Cannot open Ghostscript for piped input: gs -q -dSAFER 
-dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dCompatibilityLevel=1.5 -sDEVICE=pdfwrite 
-sOutputFile=example-image-a-eps-converted-to.pdf 
-dPDFSETTINGS#/prepress -dMaxSubsetPct=100 -dSubsetFonts=true 
-dEmbedAllFonts=true -dAutoRotatePages#/None - -c quit
system returned with code 512

from a pdfLaTeX run. Trying the same at the Terminal is fine.

Amy idea what's up?
