[Bug-AUCTeX] 11.82; package pst-pdf crashes preview-latex

[Patrick Drechsler]

Remember to cover the basics.  Including a minimal LaTeX example
file exhibiting the problem might help.

Hi,

following example will not generate any previews when typing `C-c
C-p C-d':

--8<------------------------schnipp------------------------->8---
\listfiles
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pstricks}
% \usepackage{pst-circ}% <- (A) including is ok
\usepackage{pst-pdf}% <- (B) including leads to error in preview-latex
\begin{document}
\section{foo}
\label{sec:foo}

foo $a=b+c$ bar.

\end{document}
--8<------------------------schnapp------------------------->8---

,----[ error message ]
| Preview-LaTeX finished with nothing to show at Tue Jan 31 19:57:22
| LaTeX: LaTeX found no preview images
`----

It does not make a difference in which mode is used (TeX-PDF mode
enabled/disabled).

I've gone through the docs on the `preview' and `pst-pdf' package
as well as those for preview-latex, but could not find my
mistake. Could somebody point me in the right direction?

TIA

Patrick
