Hmm, well I am not sure. I can reporduce it. And I can do more: If I
want rotate the very same image by 180 degree, same problem. But:
Rotatin by 179 degree seems to work, but:
<test.eps>
Overfull \hbox (12263.39137pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 5--6
[][]
LaTeX Warning: Float too large for page by 8075.18579pt on input line 6.
So there seems to be a miscalculation going on.

aptitude install texlive-latex-extra, also on tetex systems

Hmm, why isn't it on CTAN. bummer.

>From the bug reports last entry:
I have realized the cause of the problem. To enable pdf creation on the
fly, the `\write18' has to be enabled via the command line option:
-shell-escape of pdflatex
(example: pdflatex -shell-escape test.tex) or via the configuration file
`texmf.cnf': (shell_escape = 1) as it is stated in the epstopdf.sty
file.
However one should not expect the user to dig into the sty files.
Therefor I suggest an appropriate error message, when the epstopdf
packages is used in latex documents, but `\write18' is disabled. In
addition an example of how to enable it (example: pdflatex -shell-escape
test.tex) would be very helpful.

I would agree.
> #277327: tetex-bin: In latex, \maketitle causes page number to be inserted even in empty pagestyle
I guess that should be just a use of
\thispagestyle{empty}
AFAIR the pagestyle is overriden by the maketitle
