The way to proceed is to come up with a minimal ps or pdf file that triggers the bug. It might help to pinpoint the problem if you can compare a mpy-foo-mpgraph.pdf that break "pstoedit -f mpost" with a different mpy-bla-mpgraph.pdf (or .ps) that works. Since pstoedit mucks with ghostscript's SYSTEMDICT it isn't surprising that problems arise for newer gs versions. Maybe it is time for ghostscript to get an mpost driver. -- George N.
