Okay... I've gotten a lot of people who have had trouble with inserting
PostScript files into their LaTeX documents (PS files which print
normally, but don't when used with either dvi2ps or dvips).
The end result is that I think there's an error in the way 'dvips' deals
with PostScript insets.
It uses the following PostScript code for "special" objects:
/@endspecial{grestore clear SpecialSave restore end}N
This is in special.pro -- it's actually backwards, it should be:
/@endspecial{restore clear SpecialSave grestore end}N
Changing this seems to make the resulting dvips'd PS file work fine.
