I see this too. I get the following error when displaying the files with
Ghostview:

evince-2.22.2_2 has also problems displaying the files. I don't know if
evince uses ghostscript as a backend though.
ps2pdf can't convert them also, it bombs out with the same error message
as above.
I'm running 7-STABLE if this matters.
