There are a couple of other clues here. MNewTOold is a dictionary  
defined in in pst-3dplot.pro, so the error is most likely connected to  
an eps inclusion using pst-3dplot. The other is the file position  
where the error was detected---if you track this down in the .ps file  
(with, eg, hexedit) , you may well find what was going on.
