OK, I looked once more into the problems.

As I said before, I expect this problem to be solved in the CVS version.
If not, then please send me the erroneous document and a precise procedure
of how to reproduce this bug.

I made the system to save incorporated binary data more robust.
The problem should be solved in the CVS version.

I have the impression that it is indeed ghostscripts fault.
There are lines

%%DocumentPaperSizes: a4
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 596 842

in the generated Postscript. I checked a few other programs and
it seems that (my) Ghostscript is not able to handle default
paper size information (nor for TeXmacs, nor for other programs) ;^(
