It turns out that aanna's bug report about dvips relates to the "ncs"
documentstyle option, i.e., using New Century Schoolbook, not CMR as
Carla said.
I've confirmed that when I latex the file below and print it, $\dot x$
is screwed up. Interestingly enough, $\ddot x$ works fine. Also
interesting is that when I latex and print the file at work, $\dot x$
works fine, but $\Gamma$ still apparently fails.
I'm out of my league here. Anybody else want to take a stab at this?

\documentstyle[ncs,11pt]{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{eqnarray}
\ddot x + b \dot x + k x & = & u
\end{eqnarray}
$\Gamma_1$ and $\Gamma_2$ are matrices.
\end{document}

This was the file called it temp.tex, I "latex"ed it, said
dvips temp | -Pdesign,
and got an underline below x instead of the derivative of x for \dot x
Also, there is another bug: \Gamma does not come out as the capital greek
letter gamma. there is a blank space. I have the hardcopy in front of
me and can fax it to you if you wish.
All of this, by the way, was done in my athena account
