Each of these files begins with an lp-style banner page.
That postscript code reinitializes the postscript interpreter,
among other things, clearing the page.
Things will work better if you generate the files without
the banner pages. Running
aux/p9bitpost file.bit > file.ps
will produce postscript without the banner page.
I'm quite confused as to how they could have gotten there.
