This seems to be a bug in tools that use gs, and in gs-esp, but gs-gpl
and gs-afpl have no problem.  How to reproduce:

mkdir dataII
cd dataII
wget ftp://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/mirror/tex/graphics/pstricks/contrib/pst-geo/dataII/dataII.tgz
tar -xzf dataII.tgz
cd ..
mkdir psfiledir
cd psfiledir
wget http://people.debian.org/~frank/mapplot.ps

Now, to view how gs itself has no problem with the file

gs-gpl mapplot.ps #takes a while to draw the world map, gs-afpl works as well

But ps2pdf gives an error (gv too):

$ ps2pdf mapplot.ps 
Error: /invalidfileaccess in --file--

gs-esp, on the other hand, just calculates for approximately the same
time as the other implementations, but does not show a window or builds
up the map, and then exits silently without showing anything.
