You are right, ‘nostringval’ is reported as an offending command. It is indeed better to check the entire error message and look up the PostScript error itself. That is more likely to give a clue to the kind of problem that one is facing.

This is not an error at all.

PostScript language has operators that convert any object to a printable form. Some objects don’t have printable form and represented as –nostringval– .
PostScript objects are often printed by the error handler to provide extra information about the PostScript error.

In short, look for another keyword unique to your bug.
