I ran into this problem also with a PS file that I wrote.  I am not
sure what the problem was, but I worked up a "walk-around".  I'll
do my best to explain it.  This is done to the original PS file, before
you do the PS->EPS conversion.  You need to add a 'mark' and a 'cleartomark'
around the "script" portion of you PS file.  ie:

-----------------------------------------

%!
%%BeginProlog
/aprocedure { pop } def
/bprocedure { pop } def
%%EndProlog
%%BeginProcSet

mark                     %% this is added

1 aprocedure
2 bprocedure

showpage

cleartomark              %% this is added

%%Trailer

------------------------------------------

Hope this will be of help.
