The problem is that ps2epsi is using this construct:
if test -e $tmpfile; then
which doesn't work in Solaris /bin/sh because it doesn't support the -e
operation.
I'm not sure what the best way for us to fix this is because it's
Sun-shipped software and they don't appear to have issued a patch for
it, but as a workaround you can eiher "add -f gnu" or "bash
/usr/sfw/bin/ps2epsi".
Possibly the correct answer is to install an attachandrun script in
/usr/athena/bin for the ps2epsi in the gnu locker.
