ghostscript errors? (gs-aladdin 5.50-8)

[kmself@ix.netcom.com]

I'm finding errors with ghostscript interpreted viewers, including 'gv'
and 'gnome-gv' on a number of different documents, including some system
documentation which I *really* think ought to be legal, as well as piped
output from mpage, eg:

    ps aux | mpage -2 | gv -

I'm finding some articles suggesting there may be bugs with (a) current
ghostscript releases.  Anyone else?


Typical error output:

    interpreter message: Unrecoverable error: syntaxerror
    interpreter message:  in token
