GS 2.5 / Tseng bug

When using the tseng device driver, gs386 2.5 produces skewed and
illegible screen displays when fed some files -- apparently only files
that use a screen larger than the tseng resolution, such as those
intended for a printer.  This dies not happen if the vga device is
chosen: instead, the bottom portion of the page (as much as will fit
on a vga screen) is correctly shown.

My system is a 386-33 with 8MB, running DOS 5.0, with a Tseng ET4000 +
Sierra RAMDAC card with 1MB of VRAM.  I am using the precompiled
gs386.exe from the gs25 distribution.  gs386 works fine on all the
sample ps files in the gs25 distribution.

Has anyone else seen this, and possibly found a workaround?
