[Bug 306125] [NEW] PostScript produced with particular eps file when using graphicx-psmin gives error in ghostscript

[J. Scott Berg]

Public bug reported:

graphicx-psmin is a latex package for reducing file sizes when you have
a repetitive graphic appearing on every page.  However, with intrepid,
running ghostscript on the postscript produced with dvips from a
document including a particular eps file (attached) produces an error:

Error: /undefined in --.execform1--

It seems to be fine with other eps files, so you might think to blame
this eps file, except I've been using this eps file with latex (with and
without graphicx-psmin, and Microsoft products as well) for at least
three years now, without incident.  I would blame ghostscript except
that I found one other report with a similar symptom that blamed the
postscript producer for the problem.  No problem with a straight
includegraphics, the problem only arises when using graphicx-psmin.
