 these "magic" options often fail when a control-D is at the beginning
 of the PostScript file. Most (broken) DOS/Windows programs generate
 such files, which then happily consume a pile of sheets dumping out
 postscript source.
 
 Please make sure that this filter is not confused by a control-D
 at the beginning of the file.
