  I downloaded your "x1.ps" file, and tried to view it with "gv x1.ps", and
got the same error you did.  So, then I tried "ghostscript x1.ps", to see if
that made a difference.

  I immediately got a white rectangle filling most of my screens, and a
completely unresponsive system.  Meanwhile, the disk was running like mad --
a swap storm, I suspect.  I had to SSH in from another host and nuke my X
session to get control of my workstation again.

  Well.  I won't try *that* again.

  Are you sure those PostScript files are printouts, and not logic bombs or
something?  ;-)
