What exactly did you do? i.e. 'added "%%EOF"...' sort of makes sense,
but how did you get it to put out a new line?
By the way, does this work:
%!PS-Adobe-2.0
( %%[ echo: NAME ]%% ) print () = flush
Note the () = flush seems to do something to cause the \n to be put out.
Also,
ps_eoj@,ps_ctrl_t@,end_status=idle:busy:waiting:busy;:waiting;
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
idle:busy:waiting ???
