but I think this is what the issue is.  Those lines we are seeing aren't a problem with PostScript.  They are a problem with the interpretter's antialiasing routine.  When the mesh lines are turned on, they cover up the artifact (the bug) in GhostView and all its related software (gs, ps2pdf, etc.).  That's the way I'm understanding it.
