I am having trouble with some of my ReportLab generated PDFs.  When I 
convert them to postscript using pdf2ps i get the following error:

Error: /ioerror in --token--

GNU Ghostscript 7.05: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1

This is only happening in a few of my documents, and I can't seem to 
find a common thread between them.  If I open them up in Preview on Mac 
OS X or in Acrobat Reader I can print it just fine, but printing using 
lpr on linux causes invalid postscript to be sent to the printer.  Can 
someone give me a hint as to where I can look to see what is causing 
this error?

Thanks,
