I failed to find an email address of the author so this goes public, so
if someone please could forward this..

    ... and it is NeXT specific ...

This is a bug report for TeXview 3.0a6-8, authered by The Radical Eye,
as found in LaBrea

6-8 means, I looked into it somewhat in a6 but found the same phenomenon in a8.

When launched by opening or double clicking a dvi file, TeXview never gets
beyond the first page.
Instead it shows "bad dvi command".
This thing does not occur when either
- the dvi file is reprocessed by changing scale,
- is opened by "Document" "Open"/"Reopen",
- is double clicked when TeXview is up already, or
- is activated by a unix shell command, say "TeXview something"

gdb'ing revealed the fact, that at "processbop" time for the second page
curpos had wrong value. It was positioned, instead of next page's bop,
immediately beyond first page's bop.
