then you have to use auto-pst-pdf. For pst-pdf you have to do
the four runs by hand or by a script:
http://tug.org/PSTricks/main.cgi?file=pdf/pdfoutput#pst-pdf

I have no problem with the following example with pst-pdf
(file list below) when I use the script from
http://PSTricks.de/pst-pdf/ps4pdf

However, there is a problem when using auto-pst-pdf. I have to
investigate.
