Yes, this is a difficult item. In my package I still use gs 6.01. It is 
not a common problem that the PDF that is produced crashes the system, 
it happens only sometimes.

One should not forget that using tex-dvips-gs is an alternative and not 
the main route. The main route remains using pdftex. That is a lame 
excuse, I know, but the problem is Apple's. And both alternatives are 
bad.
