I don't know about Mathematica, but most applications that create EPSF files
include the definitions of all the application-specific procedures in those
files. Some let you save files with or without the prolog containing the
procedure definitions. If you're just going to re-edit the file with the same
software that created it, you can save space by omitting the prolog, since the
application already knows what's in it. Check the Mathematica documentation
on saving EPSF files for more information.

This actually looks like a space got dropped somewhere. PostScript has a
'def' operator and a 'currentpoint' operator. Try inserting a space and see
if the file then prints correctly.
