ps2pdf is working fine on normal groff generated files.
I just checked the output of gs:

I overlooked the first line. It points me to tgif generated EPS picture 
included in my slides.
After removing the

Now I have to discove a bit closer what tgif is producing
and do some tests with other tgif files.

Thanks
