Hi Arnd,

here's a report from your Saxonian neighbour, using AFPL Ghostscript
8.51 (2005-04-18).

Looks fine.

Get the same problem you described.

Sorry I don't have time to, but there's a more interesting point:
displaying the "problem ps" with gs shows no errors, only gv does!
Similarly, using ps2pdf (which calls gs) runs smoothly, the resulting
pdf displays without problems in acroread *as well as gv*. So it seems
to be some PS code that gv chokes upon but gs doesn't; or that gv
somehow messes with the PS stack???
