[Bug-AUCTeX] CVS preview-latex causes trouble with Ghostscript

[Torsten Bronger]

Hallöchen!

Because I had problems with preview.sty as shipped with auctex
11.83, I installed the CVS version of preview.sty (rev 118).  It
indeed avoids my old issue, but in some cases it leads to a
Postscipt file which can't be processed with Ghostscript.

Minimal example:

Tschö,
Torsten.
