Pstoimg with the option '-multipage' makes 2 images for your eps 
file, the first one is a graph image and another one is a blank
image.

Seeing your eps file on gv, we see the graph page and the blank
page. So, it is no only the problem of pstoimg, but also of the 
eps file. 

'-debug' output is the followings:

% ./pstoimg -debug -multipage IAN_PER3rawrotation.eps
