Ah, so there remain bugs in ghostscript 7, after all. I thought it was 
safe to switch from gs6 to gs7, now that the quartz preview bugs wrt gs7 
were said to be fixed in jaguar. But this one shows up in Acrobat, too.

But it is not in the ps file. And it is not in the pdf either, if you 
use ps2pdf from ghostscript version 6. It is definitely a bug in ps2pdf 
from ghostscript 7.

I am talking about ghostscript 6.01 vs 7.04 here, installed by fink, on 
top of tetex and dvips also installed by fink. So this is not a problem 
of recent tetex and dvips from Gerben Wierda, either.
