Perheps the X-Server runs out of memory -- because of a resource limit it 
is started? A Scrollbar with 2000 Page numbers is not a small object.

valgrind gv test.ps 2>&1 > log1.txt
   (quite slow, display the page 1639)

strace `which gv` test.ps 2>&1 > log2.txt
   (again display page 1639)

ulimit -a
   (shows the resource limits of newly created processes from the
    current shell, they may be the same as those used for the X-Server
    or not, but they may provide a first hint.)

_may_ give you an idea. Beside this, I have no idea at the moment. But 
wait: Have you examined /var/log/Xorg*.log (if you're using Xorg, 
otherwise similar filename)?
