I have a very similar problem using ps2pdf. (which calls gs)
Perhaps I have 4 identially installed ubuntu fiesty machines and the bug only happerns in the ones with 1Gb or more memory not the ones with only 512Mb or 256Mb
Oh it actually works if you can leave it for 50 seconds swapping heavily.
gs-gpl also cuts of the first inch of the page but I'm using gs-afpl and thats fine.
