Running through ssh to server I now get:
octave:1> plot(1:200)
octave:2> title("test04")
octave:3> print("test_04.ps")
octave:4> print("test_04.eps")
octave:5> GL2PS error: Bad file pointer
panic: Segmentation fault -- stopping myself...
attempting to save variables to `octave-core'...
save to `octave-core' complete
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
=============================
I tried this a couple of times .ps always worked, .eps always
gave GL2PS error:

Is there anything obviously different about .eps that would cause the
error?
