Most likely you have a buggy version of ghostscript.  This error seems 
to crop up in ghostscript from time to time.  It's a small fix, but I 
can't remember what it is.  What version of ghostscript are you using?

Try using the option to xplt.eps so that ps2epsi is not run after the 
postscript file is created.
