#75 Unmatched closing parenthesis in slide title causes gs fail

[Anonymous]

Hi

I stumbled across a strange bug. I (successfully) texed
a document, but gv could not display it.
I was able to reduce the problem to the following small
sample 'xx.tex'

\documentclass{prosper}

\begin{document}
\begin{slide}{)}
Hallo.\\ \end{slide}
\end{document}

Try to tex it
latex xx.tex
dvips -o xx.ps xx.dvi
gv xx.ps

gv (or rather, gs) fails.

If you replace the ')' in the title, or add an opening
'(' it works fine.

Seemingly, the ) does not get 'quoted' and the ps
interpreter wrongly thinks some command is ended here.

(I tried it with prosper 1.00.4 btw)
