How-To-Repeat: 
updating either docs tree and/or ghostscript-gnu port may show above
problem during build.  i can produce it every time.

I see this as well, both during a release build and when simply trying
to build an HTML version of the releng article.  (Actually, just invoking
"ps2epsi branches.ps branch.eps" will trigger this bug as well, so it's
pretty well localized.)  No idea what the problem is or how to fix it, 
however.  :-(

Following up to myself:  ps2epsi seems to have broken at some point 
between ghostscript-gnu-6.52_4 and ghostscript-gnu-6.53_1.  The 
breakage affects all the files I've tried, including some from the 
ghostscript examples/ directory.  Symptoms are identical to the 
original PR.

I *believe* that the problem lies somewhere within the gs executable; 
the ps2epsi script and the ps2epsi.ps file it uses appear not to have 
changed.

We need to get this fixed because it's causing release builds to fall 
over when they try to render the documentation.

Bruce.

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

ghostscript-gnu-6.53_2 fixes this problem; it contains a  
patch to unbreak ps2epsi.
