"papif". "first EOF" is incorrect behaviour. DSC nests using BeginDocument/EndDocument,
so an EOF in something like this should be ignored:
%%BeginDocument: ...
...
%%EOF
%%EndDocument
[Whether dvips is really emitting {Begin|End}/Document around EPS inclusions
is something I don't know - go look. Regardless, "first EOF" is wrong.]
