The postscript generated by gecko/1.8 is buggy. Libspectre added a
patch only recently to work around such PS files.
Older versions of evince called gs(1) to render PS; those were not
affected by the incorrect postscript; recent versions use libspectre
(which is a wrapper around libgs). If your evince uses libspectre you
need a version newer than 0.2.0. (I only have deb on servers, so cannot
quickly check.)
