This is interesting.  This would indicate that running the ps file 
through ghostscript is adding quite a bit of information (could be fonts 
that gist assumes are available while ghostscript doesn't take any 
chances).  I'm not sure though.

If you use noepsi=1 then does the output .eps file work for you (i.e. 
can you embed the .eps file into another document or does it fill up a 
page)?

I have not fully tracked down the purpose for running gist postscript 
through ps2epsi --- this was done by the folks from LLNL originally.
