Bug Description

One of the tools responsible for EPS rendering (I presume ghostscript) is broken in hardy. EPS files that work flawlessy on other systems fail to display correctly (examples attached)

If this bug is not a duplicate, I'll try to narrow the problem down further.

I fear it might be the plots produced by the qtiplot "dots" line style which cause the problem. I've had problems exporting documents that include them to postscript and pdf from LyX.

Attached is a modified version of the plots which does work on hardy, just in case somebody wants to take a look at what causes the problems.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 or 9.04?
