Ok. Will try you suggestions.

I got rid of all instances of "dvips" (not sure what it does), but
the triangle still appears.

You mean instead of using gs? I doubt it, but could try it if you
think it really would help.

FYI: displaying the dvi file in xdvi is worse then displaying the
ps file in gv.

I am not sure this is going to be so easy. Some of the lines
appear all over the place. I suspect page breaks might be significant
though.

I don't understand why viewing the file under xdvi causes
more problems then after dvips, perhaps xdvi parsing is less
robust.

Ok.

Some comments:

- I think the \chapter commands might be significant. The chapter
command might be resetting things it shouldn't.

- for viewing dvi file under dvi:
    - margins are wrong (changebars too far to the left).
    - page 2 and 3 are rather interesting...
    - no gs errors.

- for viewing ps file under gv:
    - margins are OK
    - page 2 is broken in a similar manner to the dvi file
    - page 3 generates gs errors

The following is just text a extracted from the Debian web site in
random.
