This was happening here when a "Save" of the marked pages was attempted.
The way I solved it (with V1.4.1 of Ghostview anyway) was to take out
the NON_BLOCKING_IO define:
# DEFINES = -DNON_BLOCKING_IO $(SIGNAL_DEFINES) $(SELFILE_DEFINE)
DEFINES = $(SIGNAL_DEFINES) $(SELFILE_DEFINE)
This prevented it from decending the AFS tree.
