The output in cropped form should be in the file fehler-pics.pdf. If you want the curve to be clipped at the edge of the grid, you have to use the form

\begin{pspicture*}(-1,-5)(5,5)
	\psgrid
	\psaxes(0,0)(-1,-5)(5,5)
	\psplot[plotstyle=curve,plotpoints=200,linewidth=.8pt]{0.1}{5.0}{x
	1 x div sub}
\end{pspicture*}
