The 7.03 version of gs seems to hang when converting to ps. A simple
sample is to use ps2pdf, which ends up calling gs; a somewhat minimal
case is:
gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=foo.pdf -f nonexistentfile.ps
(it also hangs for existent files, but it clearly hasn't even gotten
to the point of looking for the file). It creates a zero-length
foo.pdf in the process.
