I'm using netpbm-10.26.14 on FreeBSD-5.4 and the man page of netpbm says:
If you use the -stdout option, pstopnm outputs images of all the pages
as a multi-image file to Standard Output. Otherwise, pstopnm creates
one file for each page in the Postscript document. The files are named
as follows: If the input file is named psfile.ps, the name of the files
will be psfile001.ppm, psfile002.ppm, etc.
So, it seems the phenomenon I observed is a natural consequence in my
current environment.
Do I need to modify lyxpreview2ppm.py?
