Severity: normal

dvips produces invalid postscript (according to gv)

This bug may be related to bug #63797, but I don't think it's the same
bug.

Using any LaTeX file. e.g.
>>>>>
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
This is a test.
\end{document}
<<<<<

Run latex
>>>>>
bash-2.05b$ latex latex_test.tex
