[Bug-AUCTeX] preview-1.260; dvipng warning appears to cause preview abort

[Evil Boris]

I wonder about the following stuff that appears in the log:
========
dvipng warning: at (1,0) ignored header 
\special{!/address@hidden(CVS-1.107)def} dvipng warning: GhostScript calls 
disallowed by --noghostscript dvipng warning: GhostScript calls disallowed by 
--noghostscript dvipng warning: GhostScript calls disallowed by --noghostscript 
dvipng warning: GhostScript calls disallowed by --noghostscript dvipng warning:

Preview-DviPNG exited abnormally with code 1 at Sun Jul 10 11:07:19
Running `Preview-DviPS' with ``dvips -Pwww _region_.dvi -o 
"_region_.prv/tmp3528gvT"/preview.ps''
========
It seems to indicate that preview tries to run dvipng, chokes on a
special, considers this an error, and gives up on using dvipng...
=======================


Remember to cover the basics.  Including a minimal LaTeX example
file exhibiting the problem might help.
