With gs 8.51, bbox 1.13, and ps2eps 1.54 I get wrong values too:

%%BoundingBox: 0 1 230 230
%%HiResBoundingBox: 0.000000 1.000000 229.500000 230.000000

I used as input to epstopdf as to ps2pdf14 + pdfcrop the same EPS  
file, the one created from a PS file via pstoeps.


With your EPS file epstopdf outputs:

	* Old BoundingBox: 0 0 230 230
	* New BoundingBox: 0 0 230 230

and ps2pdf14 (+ pdfcrop) produces:

	* Page 1: 0 0 231 231

epstopdf's output looks unclipped, pdfcrop's output is at top and at  
right one pixel too big. Using a circle with 25 pt line width around  
its centre at (113,113) from a 'hand optimised' EPS file for *me*  
only ps2pdf13 + pdfcrop produce a good PDF file. pstopdf and epstopdf  
2.9.4gw, 2005/10/06 both clip. This circle has an outer diameter of  
225 pt, spanning in x and in y from 0.5 to 225.5. This is expressed  
in an unprecise (lowres) and an exact hires bounding box:

	%%BoundingBox: 0 0 226 226
	%%HiResBoundingBox: 0.500000 0.500000 225.500000 225.500000


A perfect solution would be to offer in TeXShop's preferences three  
choices:

	pstopdf
	epstopdf
	ps2pdf13 + pdfcrop

In that case there would be a real chance to have the adequate tool  
prepared for the job.
