Good.  To make this reportable to the Ubuntu tracker, can you (or
somebody else) try the amd64 Ghostscript out with

ps2pdf toc.preview.eps

with the toc.preview.eps file at
<URL:https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ghostscript/+bug/1184386/+attachment/3687226/+files/toc.preview.eps>
Since I have been able to produce the problem with both 2.16.0 from
Ubuntu as well as current master, it is quite unlikely to make a
difference, but if we want to state "This problem does not happen with
amd64", we should start from the same test file and not depend on
LilyPond itself in this particular report.

This particular kind of problem/test is quite architecture dependent.
So it is not extraordinary that results on amd64 are different.  It will
be interesting to see how this fares.  Thanks for the checks: it will
make it a lot easier to decide how to proceed to get more data points.

32 bit fails

I should add that my 32 bit machine is virtual but, because of reasons too dull to go into here, has only 1 CPU and 1GB of RAM.

The 64 bit had 2 GB and 2 CPUs but again Virtual (different platform though)

I know that isn't much but we're not compiling here, we're just running LilyPond on a very small *.ly file.

Hope that helped.

I took a few minutes and went back to GS 9.06 and that seems to work.
