It appears that if you view a ps file which has ^Ms at the end of each
line with ghostview-1.4, it works fine for the first read, but if you
try and re-read the file once again, it cheerfully dumps core.

I noticed this when I tried to push MS-DOG Matlab output through it.
Once cleared of the offending ^Ms, however, everything's back to
normal.

The moral of this story is: 

MS-DOG files don't belong on UNIX systems; they tend to leave
droppings.
