Hello,

wow,  that bug report is like 5 and a half years old... Sorry, I don't have 
that system or that file anymore... 
I only remember that 'xv' automatically created the 'gs' call and that it had 
worked with the older version (at that time) of gs. Sorry that I can't even 
test the problem anymore or give any more input...

All the best,
Uwe
