I did the grep on all the magicfilters and found nothing.  I
checked on the ghostscript and found both of the following
packages installed:

ii  gs             5.50-8         Postscript interpreter with X11
and svgalib 
ii  gsfonts        6.0-2          Fonts for the ghostscript
interpreter

So, I'm still looking for more information on the device (pc13).
I'll try some straces on the process and see what that turns up.

Thanks for your help.
