[pstricks] pstricks not working

Hello,

A book (to be corrected) has now problems with pages when
pstricks drawing commands are used.
(e.g. psline(0,.4)(0,0)).
There seems to be a problem with the *.pro-file and maybe the
pstricks version which was used 2005 and now (TeXlive2009).
Anyway, no pages with pstricks-drawings could be shown with gsview
(see error message) or translated to pdf with gs, Acrobat Pro, pstill or
freePDF. Other pages have no problems.

Comparing the psfile now and from 2006 it shows that pstricks.pro
has been subjected to massive modifications.
Is there a possibility to download the old pstricks files (and of course the
pstricks.pro file) from CTAN which were included in TeXlive2005?

Below are entries which could be found a an old ps-file from 2006.
At the end is also the gsview error message for one of the non-shown pages.
