Ghostscript could fail because of the complexity of the whole PS file,
it could also fail because some EPS file is not real EPS but simple PS
and therefore alters graphics state or such. (And we don't know which
failures dvips introduces.) Converting them could, as you mention
later, reveal that (one) faulty file. Once they're all successfully
converted, to probably correct PDF, pdfTeX will work. Except there is
another cause...
