gv behaves strangely on

  http://www.vinc17.org/research/papers/these.ps.gz

Just after opening the file, the slider in the scrollbar on the left
is very small, but when I click in this scrollbar, the slider takes
the whole space in the scrollbar, and the page numbers up to 54 are
displayed, though the Postscript document has 148 pages. Once Page 54
is displayed (e.g. by clicking on 54), any attempt to display another
page (e.g. with Page Up or Page Down or a click on a page number)
shows the next page (55, 56, 57...).

The Postscript viewers gnome-gv (from the Debian package) and mgv
(which I installed in the past -- it is not in Debian) don't have
any problem with this file.

In the file, the last %%BeginProcSet does not have a corresponding
%%EndProcSet (I don't know why -- the file was generated by dvips
a few years ago). If I add the corresponding %%EndProcSet manually,
then the problem with the page numbers disappears. The problem with
the slider is still there, but this one could be bug #288451 (I'm
not sure, though).

Note: I reported the bug concerning the page numbers to the original
author Johannes Plass 5 years ago, but I've never received any reply.
