Unlike couple of people suggested, the EPS file is _not_ a bitmap image (I
can't understand where they got that...). So if you convert it to bitmap,
it works, but you shouldn't because it makes the image quality much worse.
Looking at the EPS file, I noticed that there was some strange binary data
appended in the file. Since EPS files should be pure ASCII (afaik), I
removed the binary data and the EPS seemed to start working fine.

and searching for "EOF" I noticed that it was much before the binary
data. I removed everything after %%EOF and the result was much smaller and
seems to work just as well as after the first try. I'll send you this
(privately).

I agree: it didn't bother me (fast internet connection and lots of HD
space) but the file was so big that it might bother some other people.
