There appears to be an issue with nToAlisigofn.ps

Using gv I get the (ghostscript) error:

-------------------------

But I do see the neat graph upon rescaling to 0.100 (smallest).

Same with second file

Funny enough plain ghostview only says:
  Warning: Could not allocate backing pixmap in main window.
But works just fine for both files (again, need to downscale)
So the issue may really be caused by huge (horiz) dimension.

The following works:
  convert nToAlisigofn.ps nToAlisigofn.png
it gives a (500k) file nToAlisigofn.png:
 PNG image data, 20345 x 1340, 16-bit grayscale, non-interlaced

...which makes kuickshow hang  8-)
