Are you using an "up-to-date" version of ghostscript?  If so, that is   
the problem.  The last version of ghostscript that does not exhibit     
this problem is ghostscript-gnu-7.05_5.  I am not sure about the        
version number of ghostscript-afpl but recent versions exhibit this     
problem.                                                                

See http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/52187

Try reverting your version of ghostscript to 7.05_5 and see if that
fixes the problem.
