PArtially replicated:

Replicated on:
- Redhat 7.3, ghostscript-6.52-9.5, tetex-1.0.7-47.1, gv-3.5.8-18.7x, ivritex-cvs

Not replicated on:
- debian unstable, ghostscript 7.07-1, tetex-2.0.2-5, gv-3.5.8-30.2, ivritex-cvs

After doing some crossings I tend to suspect that the difference in
ghostscript made the difference.

THis is what should happen, right?

Actually, in the debian system I get the word "page" in capital letters.
This also happens when I use the dvi file from the redhat system and run
on it dvips in the debian system.
