Package: gv
Version: 1:3.7.2-1
Severity: normal

Hi!

I think I found an awkward regression.
After the following upgrade on Debian testing systems:

[UPGRADE] gv 1:3.7.1-3 -> 1:3.7.2-1

gv behaves in a very strange way with EPS files.

It sometimes fails to read the bounding box, and thus displays the EPS
file in A4 layout, without allowing the user to switch to BBox layout.

The problem occurs at least with EPS files generated by the grace package,
which have the bounding box written at the end.

The really surprising fact is that gv seems to behave differently on
the *same* file, depending on how the file is passed on the gv command
line (different, yet equivalent paths)!

Steps to reproduce on my box with the attached trivial test EPS
file:

  $ gv test.eps

the file is displayed in A4 layout, despite having a bounding box:

  $ head -n 7 test.eps 
  %!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0
  %%BoundingBox: (atend)
  %%LanguageLevel: 2
  %%Creator: Grace-5.1.22
  %%CreationDate: Fri May 20 21:52:16 2011
  %%DocumentData: Clean8Bit
  %%Orientation: Portrait
  $ tail -n 4 test.eps 
  %%Trailer
  %%BoundingBox: 63 72 712 528
  %%DocumentNeededResources: font Times-Roman
  %%EOF

Please note that the bounding was not read: the BBox menu entry for
the layout is grayed out, and I cannot select it.

Now, the fun:

  $ gv $HOME/tmp/TEST/test.eps

the *same* file is displayed correctly in BBox layout.

Please note that gv/1:3.7.1-3 did not show this behavior: downgrading
fixes the bug.

I hope the issue may be successfully investigated and solved soon.

Thanks for your time!
