Loading of PFB encoded fonts is broken is gs2.5.  The shar archive below
contains two files, that demonstrate the bug: a piece of gs code (test.ps)
that tries to load a PFB encoded file (font.pfb).

font.pfb contains:

	currentfile eexec
	d9d6...
             <more eexec encoded bytes containing the commands...
		( in eexec\n) print flush
		mark currentfile closefile
	     >
	...0000
	cleartomark
	( after eexec\n) print
	pstack

gs2.5 does't execute the commands that follow the binary coded eexec string:

	leo 291% gs25 -dNODISPLAY test.ps
	Initializing... done.
	 in eexec		<<<< after eexec output missing
