Your EPS-File does not look very good. The lines are very long and
the ^M DOS-Enter signs are put in the middle of the lines. I guess,
the driver, who creates these files is not very good. Even gs dies,
when I try to display the file.

Which dvips version are you using there? Does Redhat patch dvips to
support very long lines in the Postscript file or manipulate it in
any other way? Can you display the final PS-file?

I'm not sure.
