It means that if you pass lyxpreview2bitmap.sh a latex file
0lyxpreview.tex containing 5 latex snippets, then ghostscript will
output files
        0lyxpreview1.ppm
        0lyxpreview2.ppm
        0lyxpreview3.ppm
        0lyxpreview4.ppm
        0lyxpreview5.ppm

Could you post me your 0lyxpreview.tex file? (It may help to comment
out the lines invoking 'rm'.)
