Interesting. To get pstricks graphics into a PDF file I do the  
following:

latex test.tex
dvips -Ppdf -o test-pics.ps test.dvi
ps2pdf test-pics.ps test-pics.pdf
pdflatex test.tex
pdflatex test.tex

and now, looking more carefully, I agree that the drawing is correct  
in the dvi file (as shown by xdvi), but the test-pics.ps file is wrong  
(as shown by ghostscript). Hence there's either a problem with dvips,  
or there is a bounding box in the dvi file which dvips uses (but xdvi  
doesn't use) which is wrong.

But I don't know how to find a bounding box for a ps \special inside a  
dvi file. I tried hunting for a "%%BoundingBox" string but didn't find  
it.

Regards,

Johan
